    Why would a sysop run a BBS using an unregistered message editor which aborts the message rather than send it?

    In my short time n this community this is the 2nd time it's happened...

    Frustrating.

    If anynoe knows how to reach CNCFREAK at Door Games Unlimited, I have 2 messages for you!

    1. Your Tradewars game is boogered. The clock is off, I dunno. It says I have to wait 943 days before I can play again. I assure you, I'm not going to wait 943 days. Can you look into it?

    2. I've left you several messages about this in the past several days only to discover tonight that none of them were sent because your message editor aborts rather than sends them because it's unregistered.

    3. (Yeah, I said I only had 2... ) Please any negative "tone" in my message. It's just frustrating trying to reach someone running a BBS and finding out there is no way to reach them on their own BBS. I'll take a few deep breaths... and feel better.

    There. :)

    4. Have a great day.

    Full Screen Editor v 1.03b copyright 1990 by Rob Raper. I think I got the name right... my memory aint what it used to be. :)

    Ok, I just wanted to make sure I didn't ever use it on my BBS. I'm fine with nagware/pausing, but not something that just refuses to work outright
