hummm... i think i see another patch in my future... i rarely use my user #1
account (wkitty42) and have been considering using this message base method of
news instead of using text files... both my accounts are sysop accounts but the
 second one (rampage) was set up later after the guest account and a few users
had signed up... that because of that names thing that bit me with the
sbbslist... i dunno right now, though...
