I will agree my friend that BBS surfing has changed most of our lives I must disagree any kick
in the nads can not be construed as benevolent, a kick in the nads increases the risk of
testicular cancer, anyway I will now use this space for thanking the great Kenny Ketner for
taking a chance on letting a strange large man in a big black coat into his home, trust, and his
cadrie of friends I wish you the best success and you create quite a bit more than you give
yourself credit for my friend, you inspire and innovate, from me to you thank you
-Anhkharu also known as Silent Matt in much stranger realities than can be easily explained---

There I am, complete with my forced smile and mutant arm/forehead giving a hearty "thumbs-up" to
my own message board.  Woop.
Why did I do it?  Well, I anticipate being asked this later in life when I'm escorted down to
the police station, but I happen to have an answer ready now.  Nostalgia and looking ahead.
This deserves some explanation.
I miss the BBS days of rabid message posting - it quite literally changed me life; the way I
think, the way I act, and my worldview all got a swift kick in the nads (but a benevolent one)
from learning how to express myself and share creative ideas with others without resorting to
intellectual or physical violence.  I hope to bring back a little of that magic here.
I want to change things.  Changing things requires looking ahead into the future as far as we
are able - looking ahead requires knowing where we are know, and knowing where we are now
depends on discussion.  How can you know your position in the world if you do not speak with
others?  How can you know others' positions in the world if you do not listen?
Please, use this space as an outlet for whatever is on your mind.  No subject is taboo, no
strain of conversation too ridiculous.  Post much and have fun.--ZAPP
