Have you ever stopped and wondered exactly what it is that attracts us BBSer to these telnet boards? If you think about it, it's an obsolete technology, Maybe it's just me, but there's a definite innocence in this kind of communication, a hope and optimism that doesn't seem to exist in e-mail or the forums and online chat of the rest of the Internet. It reminds me of a time when Bulletin Boards were put up for the pupose of unifying the local
community. People treated each other with respect, and spoke intelligently to one another.
