I think the various servers are very cool also, but I don't see them as 
options that I would want to include in my BBS.  I'm 
old-skool/traditional, perhaps overly so.

Again... I have no argument with these things, I just choose to not 
include them.  As you said earlier in the thread - to each his own.  ;-)
