Hi Jimmy,

This one didn't seem to make it out from the Danger Bay BBS, so I am reposting it from another BBS.

Hi Jimmy,
In a message to Oli you wrote:

I watched the first episode of Dispatches from Elsewhere and it
is weird. I'm not sure if I will watch the next episodes.
Interesting find though.

It's up to three episodes and I'm hooked. :-)

It reminds me of a cross between Geocaching (hidden in plain site)
and an Escape Room (looking for clues and solving puzzles.)

I'd love to be involved in something like that for real! :-)

It's actually a dramatization of a "game"/performance-art/role-play game that actually took place.

Each episode opens with the credits that include "Based on the Documentary Motion Picture 'The Institute' by Jeff Hall & Spencer McCall"

After reading about that documentary film, I found this:

I am not sure exactly when the actual game took place or how long it ran, but it
was an actual game/social-experiment.

Hi Jimmy,

This one didn't seem to make it out from the Danger Bay BBS, so I am reposting
it from another BBS.

I'm not sure why it's not making it out.

I'm also not sure why it would have a fido point number. Your fido point number
in an fsxNet area.

If you are uploading a QWK or BW reply packet it should use the BBSs address, not someone elses address in another zone.

It's all good now. The 2 tests with FileBank proved to me that my AKA/config settings did not matter for QWK messages.

I copied that message from my local Sempoint/Squish system. But obviously the MSGID changes when it gets packed and uploaded to the BBS which puts its own msgid in that line.

And indeed it does! The 2 tests with File Bank put me at ease.

Good stuff. For some reason your replies to me are addressed to Al0.

That's OK though.. I know who you mean.. ;)

I noticed that too. I don't see the "0" after "Al" when viewing/reading
and replying with SemPoint. But I notice that when the QWK door at
TheFileBank summarizes the messages, I see "Al0".

I will try replying to the same message to you from either DangerBay or Palantir next.

(This reply is using the wcMessage client, so I expect this one to look
right.)

Is it Al or is it Al0?

This one is To: Al, so that's good. I saw replies you wrote to others looked OK, so maybe it's because my handle is short?? I'm not sure.

Yep, this one looks good here at my end.

Your's seems to be the only 2-letter name.

Maybe the problem is/was Sempoint dealing with a short 2-letter handle?

I could experiment with a writing another message to "Aa" for example.

Maybe Vk3Jed could oblige and use his Sempoint/QWK to see if he gets the
same result.

I'll have to update my messagebase (i.e. download a "catch up" .QWK), but will do so in a few mins. :)

Yeah - I started watching that documentary and caught some dialogue
that was STRAIGHT out of the show, so I stopped watching it so I
wouldn't see any spoilers. I'll go back and check it out after it's
over...
