P.S. I thought Top Posting to someone's post caused some
discussion years ago.
Maybe it still does.

I think top posting and not trimming what you quote to
the essentials, is just showing your lazyness to the
world! ;-)

I think Ed is using a phone for his echomail. Must be harder to
fiddle with Ctrl-Y (to delete lines), or highlight a block to
delete, than it is with a proper/physical keyboard.
If I recognize that someone has top-posted, I just look over
the bottom/quoted part for the essentials and skip the rest
like the extra taglines and origin lines. Easy to do.
This chatter is ephemeral. It doesn't need to always look
pretty. ;) :D
So it can be done on a phone too! So I stand by my proposition: Just lazyness. ;-)

Maybe easy to do, but also more effort on your part. So the lazyness of others makes your effort to understand a message harder! ;-)

Even "cleaning up" a message with Aftershock on a BlackBerry is bit tedious. I'd almost rather top-post and leave the stuff below as-is.

Howdy! Winfred, my using a cellphone isn't lazy.
It'S very difficult.
After my Internet connection to my home computer system failed two years ago I
missed logging on a BBS and reading email.
Fiber failed to work and except for Cable Internet Fiber is the only service
offered now that DSL service no longer is available.
The cellphone gives me access now but isn't anything near what my home computer system could do. Ed

Winfred, what is Your experience with using a virtual keyboard on a cellphone?

Hi Wilfred
I apologize for misspelling Your Name.
Seriously, My reason for using a Bulletin Board is to learn from
others who
write about their successes, failures and wants.
If I don't see a grin at the end of a statement I accept what's written as facts.
I see another Reply from You in this forum, hope I spell Wi?fred
correct in that post .
I have read that Android OS is a Linux type OS.

Well.. there *is* a certain cool factor accessing echomail in a portable and literally mobile way. btw, I took someone else's observation of bottom posting yeah, this is easier. :D

During last winter's storms, I went through an extended period at my
house without power. realitycheckBBS was running in Windows 10 on a laptop, so I brought the whole thing with me to a Starbucks, logged into their wifi, crashed my uplinks, then crashed all of my downlinks.
It doesn't get more mobile than taking the whole BBS with you. :)

How far did you have to drive to do that?
Someone posted about a BBS project operating entirely on a phone. Not sure how practical that is.

If there was a cloudflare daemon for Android, maybe -
don't think phone IPs are accessible from the outside.
Well Sir, After reading Your mention of Bottom Posting I guess I will go back to that...

OOPS!, I am top posting again.
I am unsuccessful in trying to find the posts about the
project. But I think the idea was to run the phone as the
server. And as long as the phone is always powered (such as
always charging) then it always accessible to visitors.
Wouldn't it be similar to Aftershock ?
Hello Flavio!

No. This was a complete BBS project operating on a smartphone.
I remember this as well, I believe it was a version of Mystic for the Pi that was running on an Android phone.

There was a website describing the project. I can't find it anymore. Not sure in which echo/network it was mentioned.

It looks like it was MeaTLoTioN who was describing it in FSX_GEN (MSGID: 21:1/158 dd37718d) back in November of 2020.
He got Mystic running on a OnePlus 6T, calling it "phOnE In mY pOckEt
BBS" or "PIMP BBS" for short.

But not to be confused with BBS-on-a-Stick.
