10. It had a neat name. The local police think so to and ask you about it
regularly.

9. It allowed your users to send messages to "All", only to get confused when
those messages got bounced back and they asked why they couldn't send a "Hi"
message to everybody.

8. You wanted your users to be able to send threatening messages to
"president@whitehouse.gov", and you love to sit in brightly lit rooms
surrounded by guys in mirror shades talking about it.

7. You believed that Cantor & Siegel really just wanted to "talk to potential
clients", and like the fact that you had to download their mail for 273 hours
straight before it completely clogged your feed's T1.

6. You finally managed to get Usenet feeds tossing in less than 28 hours.

5. You enjoy the added excitement of living in Oklahoma and never knowing what
the current laws are regarding alt.sex.bestiality.hamsters.

4. You like the added publicity the local TV stations give you when the 700
Club runs a "Pedophiles communicate over the Internet" special.

3. You enjoy all the Rush fans who, formerly having all the technical skills
necessary to tune an A.M. radio, call you at 3:00 A.M. asking why their modem
makes "this squeaky noise" when they wanna send notes to Compu$erve.

2. You like the resulting traffic when someone says your site is a "Great
e-mail server for alt.sex.stories archives".

1. You thought alt.binaries was about base 2 math and only had a 10 gig hard
drive.

So, what problems are you having? It was a forehead install here and, except
for when the "tossed message number 1.542E17 to alt.barney.die.die.die" log
fills up our hard drive and gives us a cool looking light show, seems to work
just fine!
