    That's absolutely the reason, with a side helping of making it appear

    I don't give a XXXX either way if my messages are read or not. I
    just like to talk with people and that's it. I don't upvote my

    Hahahahaha! That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

    What a load of horsefeathers.

    When reading a message, the reader tells you how many upvotes &
    downvotes the message has. In my message reader, I had added a sysop
    command to view the tally information (included who voted on it).
    Normally it shows The Millionaire's messages have an upvote, and the
    tally information shows The Millionaire voted on it.

    thats too bad. maybe votes should be anonymous

    Why is it "too bad"?

    Nightfox

    because someone can spy on it and see who voted.

    Aside, I was musing the other day -- would it be possible to launch Linux doors/xtrn programs from Win32 SBBS using WSL2 on the same machine? I'm
    not sure how the output would be piped to the user, but since Win now has
    the ability to directly launch a linux kernal... that would be pretty
    slick. I'm sure this is a naive assumption, tho :)
    Assuming it's in /mnt/c/sbbs/xtrn/doorname or similar...

    You should be able to use the wsl command to launch a stdio linux door,
    I don't think SynchroNet itself will know/care that it's "linux" or not.

    When you launch wsl, the working directory should be your directory in
    the shell... That said, you may be better off with the door code/files themselves inside WSL, as the boundary connection is less than stellar
    for file locking from multiple processes. You can still reference the appropriate node directory via /mnt/c/sbbs/NODE# as needed.

    Mike,

    What a load of horsefeathers.

    Colonel Potter, is that you? :D

    All I can think of was the episode where Corporal Max Klinger was
    trying to forge Colonel Potter's signature (Sherman T. Potter). As
    it turned out, Potter denied it, telling Klinger "You put too much
    swoop on the T". <G>
