A WORD FROM ECLECTIC's SYSOP
----------------------------------------------------------------
From : Chuck Thompson

It was mentioned the other day that one or more of the few remaining
BBSes was shutting down (or going on limited hours).

I'd appreciate it if Eclectic users who are on other boards would
issue invitations to users on the other boards that Eclectic is still
available. We have very little usage these days -- our games have two
to four contestants each month. Hardly seems worth the effort to keep
it going, but I'm determined to do so.

If there are games on the other BBSes that I might get, and which
appeal to you folks, let me know. I'll try to obtain them.

Chuck
