  About BBS Utiliteez Software:


  In Case You Didn't Know:
  
  Contrary to what some people would like to believe, BBS Utiliteez is not
  some wannabe commercial software development company...It is only a name
  given to a line of programs written by a HOBBIEST programmer. I've never
  had any intentions EVER of being some kind of a professional BBS or Door
  author, simply because there is no such thing...BBS and Door software is
  for hobbiests, real professional programmers don't waste their time with
  greasy kid's stuff like BBS and Door software. If anybody claims to be a
  professional BBS or Door author, the least that I can do is laugh at the
  choice of words that they use to describe themself...

  Larry L. Athey - AKA: Satan Of The BBS World:
  
  Yes, that's true...I've been dubbed as the Satan of the BBS world simply
  because I'm not one of those passive little pussies that always lets the
  whiners and ego-maniacs of the BBS world push me around...How dare I say
  anything in response to a flame message using the same tone as the clown
  who cast the first stone?...Sorry, just because a person is a programmer
  doesn't mean that they are obligated  to let people constantly kick them
  in public without kicking back. Bummer, life is hard, if you feel you've
  got to flame someone in public, then expect to get the favor returned by
  tenfold. If the concept of that is un-nerving, then I would say that you
  should keep snotty assed messages to yourself, and re-think what you are
  about to type in a message to someone first...

  The Bogus F.B.I. and Legal Scams:
  
  I'm sure if you've ever read any messages in the "Fight-0-Net" echos and
  LoseNet LoserGroups (ie: FidoNet and UseNet NewsGroups), you've probably
  seen messages where one guy claimed that he had the F.B.I. after my ass,
  because he claimed that I sent him and his wife death threats via e-mail
  (Amusing isn't it?). It's my obligation to tell the public that the scam
  blew up in his face. The F.B.I. found out that he had a friend log on to
  my BBS under a bogus name and send the messages to him using the UUCP to
  Internet e-mail feature in my BBS...He did indeed receive those messages
  that he claimed to have received, but he received them because he wanted
  to receive them...This was all done because of a childish little revenge
  tantrum that he wanted to throw, but it blew up in his face...

  Then there is the matter of these Squirtgun BBS (ie: Shotgun BBS) sysops
  all pissed off because I abandonned the Squirtgun BBS package, then went
  out on my own and came up with my own SVGA GUI for BBS software. I'm not
  going to bother listing names here because if you know one Squirtgun BBS
  Kronie, you know them all...At any rate, the author of Squirtgun BBS got
  all pissed off at me over this, and intentionally changed the structures
  of his data files,  to insure that all of my third party utilities would
  no longer work with his BBS package (Oh darn, and I care because?). When
  he and the rest  of the Squirtgun BBS Kronies  saw that I  didn't give a
  rat's ass one way or the other about this,  they all jumped on the brown
  noser bandwagon and decided to spread every  lie and rumor you can think
  of. Everything from me spreading illegal source code,  to spreading some
  hacked key for Squirtgun BBS, to saying that every legal organization in
  the US and Canada was coming to get me. Well, I'm still waiting, so far,
  nothing. They're just swinging on Brent Shellenberg's balls so they have
  something to hold on to while they bury their heads up his ass...

  What It All Boils Down To:
  
  What all of this boils down to, is that I just wrote a program that runs
  circles around anything that the Anti-Larry/Anti-MAX kronies could write
  so they're all trying their damndest to kill myself and my programs off.
  But what they don't realize is that any uneducated idiot could see right
  through their scams and childish missions and don't bother to pay credit
  to any of their whining. The only people that do, are the ones that fall
  under the category of less than uneducated idiots...I don't give a rat's
  ass what people's opinions are of me,  quite simply because opinions are
  like armpits...Everybody has a couple, and no matter how well you doctor
  them up, they both end up stinking anyway...I can get along with anyone,
  and I make an effort to get along with them too...But, if someone all of
  a sudden decides they want to test my patience and screw with me, I have
  no qualms about entertaining them and returning the favor. I'm human and
  not ashamed of, or have any regrets about anything in my life. So all of
  the Mikey Jordan YesMen and Squirtgun BBS Kronies will just have to deal
  with things the best they can...They will never succeed in killing me or
  my programs off...I'll be a thorn in their asses for a looonnnggg time!!

  Final Notes:
  
  As far as suggestions for programs go....I am always open to suggestions
  and ideas for new features so long as they  come from the "SysOp" of the
  BBS running the program...If you are the SysOp of the system running the
  program and have an idea for a feature  that will benefit other SysOps &
  Users running the program, I'll put it on the wish list....If this seems
  to be a popular suggestion,  then it will be implemented ASAP....Program
  features are decided on a first come - first serve basis and their level
  of importance to other SysOps and the public....

     Also, all BBS Utiliteez Software programs written for Shotgun BBS are
     now officially out of my hands. The source code to these programs was
     sold to an undisclosed individual who may or may not revive them, his
     decision is based wholely on the  attitudes of the people who's names
     appear in the below...

     If you are one of the many registered owners of Shotgun BBS Utiliteez
     and don't want to see your program become abandonware, then you might
     want to send netmail to the people listed below and tell them to make
     a public apology to Larry Athey, BBS Utiliteez Software, LA-Soft, and
     the MAX Graphics graphical BBS user interface...
