Sam,

It was there today 3 or 4 times Dont remember but at least 3times with todays date. I'm not saying you cant but they posted that 1 time a
week in there rules.

I've seen that, but I guess that certain folks feel that "any rules made,
do not apply to them". That applies to any group, organization, or hobby... sacred or secular. These are the type of people who feel that "the world
and the hobby or organization revolves around them". There are far too many folks who are TAKERS instead of GIVERS. Everyone wants the glory and the benefits...but no one wants the gall and the work.

And, many folks believe that certain things "just happen by themselves". I've yet to see at a party, where the decorations just magically appear throughout the room, with no one actually putting them there. That only happens in TV shows like "Bewitched" and "I Dream Of Jeannie"...it does
NOT occur in real life.

Dont get me wrong I dont have control over you and you can do what
you wish, Its like you said over kill. Sorry to be a old fart but
thats what I am a old fart lol..

As noted, I just post my ad on the 1st day of the month...that's it.
I want folks to logon to my BBS because they WANT to...NOT because
they have to.

I realize that there are many who don't like the way my BBS is set up
or run. Well, my BBS isn't the only one out there...I run it mainly
for my enjoyment, and I do have a few regular logons. Plus, what folks
do outside the BBS is their business...but they're a guest in my home
at logon, and are expected to act accordingly. Other Sysops set up and
run their respective BBS as they see fit.

The same is true for my 2 other hobbies...amateur radio and square
dancing. What you do "off the air" or "off the dance floor" is your
business. But, once you key that mic for amateur radio, or get to
the square dance, you're expected to act in a manner where you'd be
welcomed back.

he wants to skip class thats fine but he will get a F for a grade, Oh

I am just getting into ham, I took the test last month and I failed oh
well more studying needed. As for what I like to do is BBsing which I
have 4 at the moment and working number 5, I ride motorcycle when its

Sam,

Your right about what you said and I agree.

I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong (just kidding) <G>.

I dont square dance never did and never will I used to skill gym class when they did that and got suspended for doing til my dad had to go in
and he said why does he have to square Dance the Pri. said it coordination, he replyed does he walk okay, they said yes then if
he wants to skip class thats fine but he will get a F for a grade, Oh well.

When I did "square dancing" back in elementary school 55 years ago now,
we danced "boy-boy" or "girl-girl", and thought nothing of it. Well, after
I had graduated class in late 1985 (more on that in a minute), I was known
as "an angel"...a dancer who has completed class, but is helping new
students learn the steps. But, this caller tried to get this young boy
to dance with this girl...however, the boy would have none of it...she
was poisoned with cooties!! <G>

As for the "square dancing" that my parents got into 40 years ago (I
didn't start for 2 1/2 years after that, and I regret that I waited),
the first night of class, the females (single and married) were giving
me hugs, what we term as "yellow rocks". I thought "What have I gotten
myself into??!!"...and a married lady dancer told me later that she
felt the same way. But, after graduation, it was like "Next, please!!" <G>

I used to travel all around the country to the big national conventions
and area festivals, but health and finances won't let me do that anymore.

I am just getting into ham, I took the test last month and I failed oh well more studying needed. As for what I like to do is BBsing which I
have 4 at the moment and working number 5, I ride motorcycle when its
not darn hot here(Florida). Messing with computers and trying to understand them is my other hobby as well as boating and fishing

First, with the ham radio license exams, THERE IS NO DISGRACE IN FAILING.
Not everyone has passed an amateur radio exam on the first try. Even though most countries have eliminated the knowledge of Morse Code as a requirement
to get your amateur radio license, you still are tested on the rules, bands, frequencies, propagation, and electronic theory...more advanced as you work
up the licensing ladder.

The bottom line is that if it takes you a dozen tries or more to pass
the exam...even if just barely...you have as much right to be on the air,
as someone who made a perfect score the first time. Besides, the guy or
girl who graduates dead last in medical school, is still...A DOCTOR!!
But, I might want them doing a prostate check or pelvic exam. <G>

I'm originally from the Miami, Florida area...but my late father's
job transferred the family to central Arkansas 45 years ago.

Back to the square dancing, I don't actively dance as much as I used
to...but instead, I work behind the scenes as the Editor, Webmaster,
and Circulation Chairman for the Arkansas State Square Dance Federation (ASSDF).

We have a monthly publication called "The Modern Square", started 60
years ago. The print edition (in black and white, and much smaller
than the e-Edition) is $20 a year. The e-Edition is free, and available
by sending an email to assdfmodernsquare at gmail dot com -- the website
for the ASSDF is at https://www.arkansassquaredance.com -- I usually
release the next issue on the 15th of the month before the month of issue (March 15 for the April issue).

In working behind the scenes, "you can always get dancers, you can't
always get workers". That goes for any other hobby...too many takers,
and not enough givers. Or, they think things just happen by themselves.

As for the BBS, it's the longest running BBS in Arkansas. While during
times of thunderstorms (it's our tornado season now <sigh!>), or needed repairs, the system is down, it turns 30 on May 1.

... On the other hand, you have different fingers.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
