All I did was point out--in the nicest way possible, I might add--that using all caps was bad Internet ettiquite! Excuse me, but was that so wrong people? Some people don't like do be shouted at, even if it does get more people to a site! G. Goose just overreacted, and you people are jumping all over me like I just assassinated this site or something! And now Patrica's going to shut down the BBS. I suppose you're gonna blame that on me as well?
: I decided to switch to a BBS because I was too busy to answer and post all the mail I got and I figured I could trust the Monkiacs to behave responsibly. However, if this trend keeps up, I'm going to have to drop the BBS and go back to the old-fashioned e-mail approach so I can moderate. Since I'm very busy now (I'm starting my own business), conversation around here will grind almost to a halt.
: As for the nearly 1,000 hits on Thursday, the evidence seems to point to some unknown, somewhat popular web site with daily content mentioning this place. Friday, the hits to the main page dropped to 400 and yesterday's count was less than 200, so things are getting back to normal.
