Hi Warren, I trust you are in good spirits!
You're assuming that because your messages don't see the light of day at
this BBS that they aren't accessible, but that is very dodgy logic as
you're overlooking the power of the internet. I'm a communicator and it
would be daft not avail my self of the most powerful communications medium
on the planet - the internet.
If mankind hadn't moved with the times we'd be sat at desks on high stools
writing in gothic script with quill pens dipped in ox blood. You really do
need to come up to speed Warren and move with the times old chap. Your
message, mine and everyone else's, once posted on packet are in the public
domain and plastered all over the internet whether we like
it or not.
That means your potential audience and mine is far broader than just
the packet network and can be read by all and sundry without the irksome
red-tape of having to obtain an amateur radio licence, radio equipment or
bothersome antennas.
You do of course need an amateur radio licence to post replies, but as
there are thousands of radio amateurs on packet all over the world who
never post anything but just lurk in the shadows, neither the lack of an
amateur radio licence nor the inability to post replies won't be a great
handicap to them.
Just google your callsign (or anyone else's for that matter) and you'll
come up with some interesting results, not to mention the fact that there
are more than a few websites run by radio amateurs which carry packet
bulls.

I've got a distinct feeling of deja vu with that comment.
Have I drifted into the twilight zone? Very spooky!
Right then, I'll just hit the rocket icon on Winpack and:
Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh, this is coming your way
via my broadband internet connection.
Good, innit?
It's radio Jim, but not as we knew it:-)
Anyway, if we want to get precious about it, real radio glows in the dark!
