I ran a BBS under Citadel - which was basd loosely on the D&D structure
with the subjects called "rooms" rather than "echoes". Networking was
done by direct calling - so it was as loose and sloppy as life itself. 
Not structured as Fido seems to be.  Bv)=

 BC> Which county?  The word associations that come to mind are "county

That my be a typo that has survived all these years. Minnie Pearl was a
comedienn e and a star of the Grand Ole Opry on radio, TeeVee and live.

Nope. Bing research shows that as thet actual name. Altho the silly-arsed
chat bot sidebar uses the "county" spelling then references "country".
