I wasn't blaming you for anything, or saying you were wrong at all. Just
going by past experience, "sub-board" was definitely not one of the main
terms.
It has been a long time since I've used Renegade, or forum hacks (obv/2,
iniquity, impulse, vision-x and v/2, etc, but I remember them using "message
base" more than I can ever remember "sub-board" being used.
Either way, I was only trying to help explain it to the other guy by using terms
he may have been more familiar with, is all. Doesn't seem like it
worked anyways. :)
