 My Sincere Apologies!!!!
===================================================================
To those of you who got mail-bombed by me, I am so Sorry! I was 
testing the a feature when something went horribly wrong.  I'll try
to explain.  I wrote a script that will send out emails to each 
person who's signed up for the new feature, which I'll get to in a 
second.  In the script, there is a loop, which adds each recipient 
to the email, then sends it.  Well, inside the loop, i forgot to 
clear out the previous recipient, so it just kept adding recipients 
and "snowballed" from there.  So some people maybe have gotten 50 
or more emails from me before i caught it.  To those people, I am 
so very sorry.  :(

New BBS Monthly Digest
----------------------
Ok, which brings me to the new feature.  Some people had been 
saying that it's hard to find out which BBS's are new on the site
since they had last visited.  Well, I've worked out a system which
will email those signed up for it every 30 days with a small list
of BBS's added or edited in the area code that you signed up to
monitor.  All those who are signed up to get the notifications when
a user signs up on a BBS that you are on, will be receiving this
email once a month.  

To remove yourself from this particular list, Log in on the site, 
click Edit Profile and uncheck the Box.  But I assure you, to those
of you who got blasted that the problem has been fixed now.  :)

For those of you who will be receiving the New BBS Monthly Digest,
the list will include only the area code that you entered when you 
signed up on the site, the area code that you are from.  If you 
want to have more monitored by the Monthly Digest, you can click
Edit Profile and add any other area codes to your list.  Please put 
commas between the area codes when entering more than one.

I will send out the Monthly Digest again, shortly after this email,
and those who are signed up for the Join Notification will receive
this.  (Unless of course, there were no additions in the area 
code(s) you specified when joining.

===================================================================
 Coming Soon
===================================================================

I dunno, can't think of anything.  Have any suggestions?
