Curious.. If Gordon (always ready with a cheerful comment) is accurate, then what is the purpose of the BBS? Also, Kevin is far from 'selfish'...he is just using the available resources. Helpful education is far more useful than lame name calling, Gordon.

Dont get me wrong, they serve their purpose... The problem is that when you use the packet BBS on the ISS, it stops digipeating packets for anyone else.
