                      BBS Tip of the Month
                     ----------------------
Be a courteous user. Always Upload at least 1 file for every 3
that your download. Sysops do not like to have their BBSes
leeched. When possible, use Offline Mail Readers to prevent
tying up BBS lines while reading messages.
