[AT] atis bulletin board gone?

Cecil,
     You are in 100% agreement with me on the technocrap!  That digital 
tv has set us  back to worse than what we had in 1954.  Back then you 
might have had a snowy picture that you could not make out and much 
hissing in the sound, but you could make out what they were saying.  
Now, unless things are exactly perfect and you hold your mouth just 
right, you have nothing.  I sure hope AM radio doesn't leave us.  Smoke 
signals are probably illegal.

ps: I did post to the bulletin board to see if it worked.  It did.
