Hi Andrew.

Nice to meet you and thanks for the intro post. I hope you enjoy your BBSing experiences and the discussions in fsxNet.

The guys here are helpful and supportive. We're all located around the globe, time travel between time zones certainly happens, some of us are in sumemr others in winter... I live in the future according to folks based in the the USA / Europe etc.  but I'm still no good for future lotto numbers - sorry!

 va> Back in the 90s I ran a very small Star Trek themed
 va> BBS in San Antonio, TX USA and at the time I had
 va> Fidonet setup with the BBS dialing my parent in the
 va> node list every day to sync. The board I hung out
 va> on the most during that time was Cliffs of Insanity.

I ran a Renegade BBS back in the 90s can got back into BBSing again around 2013 I think it was, set up fsxNet with the help of Todd, Dan and Deon in late 2015 and have enjoyed the camaraderie ever since of chatting with folks from all walks of life but often with quite a bit in common when it comes to overlapping hobbies and interests.

 va> Anyway, thanks for adding my BBS to the network!
 va> I look forward to talking to folks on here.
 va> 
 va> My hobbies include anime, sci-fi, history,
 va> amateur radio, electronics, and woodworking.

I'm also a HAM operator (not that active) ZL4PH and enjoy sci-fi too..
