Hi Mike!

I think you have a user by the name of Mark Redden who could use a bit
of help figuring out how to reply to messages. Looks like replies to me
-- currently my May 24th packet in DOS Tips and there was another one a
day or two ago, umm, somewhere!) had just a full quote of my message
with nothing added. He did post a reply in Cars and Driving, without
any quoteback. Probably just needs a bit of guidance on which buttons
to push when.

Thanks!

I have been noticing that. Since he sometimes types stuff in, I am
wondering if he is not doing it on purpose. Or maybe he has found a bug in Synchronet. :)

I am going to pull the latest code down today or tomorrow so maybe that
will fix it.

It's a rough job but someone has to find them!

Or really confuse him with the changes! <g>

I did have another blank message from him yesterday (my packet of May
26th) but didn't saw anything as figuring could be confusing if he
corrected his method, gets a message from me saying something's wrong,
and he doesn't account for the mail lag.

I have noticed that his most recent posts (from a couple of days ago now)
all appear to have some text added to them. I think he is getting the hang
of it. :)

I also figured out, from another post in another echo, that he is new to
bbsing so I want to be sure to treat him as such and not discourage him. :)

Right now, he is my most prolific user. :)

Yes, I did get an 'OK' this morning. Just like the rest of us he'll get
it eventually!

Right! There is a learning curve, mistakes will happen....

I'm thinking that has a openly hidden second meaning!! <g>

Decades ago I was on DangerZone BBS and I was posting more than entire
BBSs to that hub!
