...I hope I'm doing this right....in other words they, like I did at first,
think of grex as just another bbs. There is a bit of a strenge atitude some
teens get when calling my bbs, or others for that matter, and that is that I am
giveing my computer and time to them....they expect to get what ever they
wan't...Oh well better stop and see if this is working.

Well I almost got it right...this will be better..... Hi I an new helper here
and have had good luck with the people I've helped so far. Now I'll start what
I finished above :). The asking for validation thing comes from bbsing. Most
bbs's don't give out access to the files and such on the first call, they have
to be validated first. On my board I give all the same acces even on the first
call. But still get people asking for *Higher* access on their first call. On a
free bbs we give out more time and the like to people that are regular
contributors to the messages and such is our only form of reward for users that
help the bbs and don't do it for leeches (people that call and download with
out uploading or posting at all). I get some strange people (most teens) that
feel that because I run a bbs that I am giving my computer and time to
them...they get demanding as you mention here about some helpseekers...the hard
thing is I'm the only one to help them at all but I can also delete them :).

(Your responses will be much easier to read if you press return every 80
characters, at least. Welcome to Grex!)

Yeah, head. Some people's computers won't wrap the latter part of a line
around when you don't push return. As a result, they only see a part of
your message. Otherwise, you seem to be doing great!
