resp:4 Why?  And what does it mean to "stand independently"?  Would
it REALLY matter to any of the people who feel so passionately about
Grex and M-Net being separate from one another if they were hosted
on the same hardware?

What do you define as Grex?  What do you define as M-Net?

Most of the people who seem to care care only about the BBS.  If
the data files for two BBS's live on the same physical machine and
some group of people use one and others use the other, does it
REALLY matter?  Would anyone even be able to tell the difference?

We could probably merge the systems today and no one would notice,
aside from seeing more people logged in.

As an aside: I don't support TS for the board.  He doesn't do
anything as (assistant) treasurer now, so I have little faith that
he'll do anything on the board going forward.  In fact, it was so
bad that someone who donated money to Grex actually complained to
PayPal to get their money back because they were never validated;
others have been keeping track of such things since.

Further, TS has proven himself difficult to work with.  I don't see
his being elected as working out all that well.  He'll try to
overreach and exert control over things he doesn't understand.

I don't think he's a bad guy; he'd probably be a lot of fun to have
a beer with, but I think that JEP would be better suited to being
a board member.
