Re: Teleconference ghosting bug

The ghosting issue is strange but not surprising given the layering of Teleconference modules, where GALTELE sits on top of GALTLC and GALTLCW sits on top of GALTELE. It's a minefield.

Re: Rob Michnick - Obituary

My deepest condolences on Rob's passing.

Unfortunately I never met him personally but I did speak with him via email and he seemed like a great guy.

Sadly we have lost another one of the original BBS pioneers but his work will continue to live on.

RIP Rob.

Re: Tele-Arena Darkness

Maybe it would be worth drawing a line the sand and putting out a working version that others can help give feedback on. Otherwise you might end up tinkering forever only for nobody to be able to use it.

Due to personal reasons, I will be taking a step back from the day to day running of all things MBBS for a period of time.
