Synchronet wouldãbenefit if there was an option for having the message pointers automaticallyãset upon the registration of a new user. Right now, a new user that registersãends up having thousands of unread messages to check, onyl a small fraction ofãwhich are current enough to be worth checking.ããã--ãgopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalkenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FLã
