    I've only just realised - yeah, I'm often slow on the uptake - that
    this is NOT "BBS: The Documentary", but a brand new production
    pertaining to the contemporary BBS scene.

    "BBS:The Documentary" was a landmark documentary - if only for the fact that he was able to interview many of the BBS movers and shakers who, sadly, passed away since.

    But we certainly needed "Back to the BBS" because BBSing didn't end. It just fell into the Internet shadow.

    Absolutely. I must have watched this at least ten times by now, but was completely unaware that "Back to the BBS" was an entirely different
    documentary altogether.

    I sometimes don't read posts as closely as I should, and am often late to the party as a consequence.

    NOTE TO ONESELF: Pay attention!

    Not very likely, because of zone:net issues. Members not of your zone will have tossing issues over duplicated nets.... Sorry, the tech isn't there.
