    I'm not quite sure I understand the logic in your question.

    You likely meant to ask if anyone here is psychic?

    The Millionaire's questions generally do not contain any logic.

    Probably. Because anyone on an "old BBS" wouldn't be able to
    answer because..... they're not back to life yet.

    Maybe it's more about necromancy.

    Theoretically a sysop could call around to BBSs and begin talking about bringing their own BBS back up, rather than jumping straight into setting up
    a BBS again and only getting around to sending messages once they're on a network.

    But that's just theoretical, because that doesn't sound like any sysop I know.

    Define old? :) Stock markets doing well! My BBS ran from 1989 to 2003,
    it's back! lol! Which BBS's are you referring to? I call quite a few to check out the scene, in hopes some old ones I remember from my past years resurrect: The Rat's Den, The Nunnery, Teletran One, Pirates Cove, Terra
    Main, and the biggest one I'm waiting for is Reggae Land. But not so much Prodigy (ha!)

    Then you should have said that. Instead you asked a different question altogether because you couldn't be bothered to type an extra word. Now you've had to type six more, so you're at a net loss. Please be more considerate, please try to express yourself more clearly and thoroughly. If your ISP charges
    by the byte or something, consider switching to a better provider whose rates won't force you to be so economical with your words.

    Mine could qualify <g>. Depending on what I am doing at the time it might run for several months without checking on it.
