Subj: REPLY TO MSG #1754 (SUBJECT NO GOOD)

Yes!  That!  Is one of the areas that bugs me, too, about the subject scan
feature.  This version of TBBS does not give me global control over that
feature.  However, I would REALLY like to see a "text scan" feature.  They
[eSoft] have a new release of TBBS on the market, now, but after reading the
bug reporting file I am not willing to jump ahead into the upgrade.
 
Actually, Joe, you've hit on one of my biggest complaints about online
information, i.e., finding what you want it not easy or obvious.  In fact, it's
frustrating at best.  You know it's there but at what level, what key words,
what listing.  It's enough to drive a guy to...  Anyway, I'm doing TONS of
thinking on this one subject alone.  It's a challange, given the start of the
"art?" in BBS hosting software.  However, I understand that we do not live by
BBS alone.  The most successful BBSes in this country augment their service
with mailings or mail order services.  This is the key to a successful BBS
operation, i.e., pump out the paper!!  -Rick-
