Poetry In Motion SysOp Profile
Copyright (c) 1993, Joe DeRouen

Each month in PIM, we'll feature a profile of one of the BBS's (and
the SysOp) that carries Poetry In Motion. If you'd like your BBS
to be featured, read the files WOULDYOU.TXT and PIMSYSOP.TXT
included in this PIM archive.

This month, we feature Sunlight Through The Shadows BBS which, as
coincidence would have it, just happens to be ran by myself.

While narcissism could easily explain my choice for the profiled BBS
this month, there's slightly  more to it than that.

 1) This is the first month that I've written this and I wouldn't
    care to subject anyone else to any experiment that I wouldn't
    first volunteer for.

 2) No one's yet to fill out the PIMSYSOP.TXT survey and return it
    to me, largely due to the fact that, prior to this issue of
    PIM, it didn't exist.

 3) This'll give you the chance to learn a bit about the presumptuous
    fellow who's attempting to write this new monthly column.

 4) Okay, so I *am* ever-so-slightly narcissistic. So  give me a
    break, already!


So, without further ado..



Sunlight Through The Shadows BBS
(214) 620-8793   12/24/9600 Baud


Sunlight Through The Shadows BBS comes to you from out of
Addison, Tx., a suburb of Dallas. It carries several on-line
magazines as well as PIM. It's main theme is information retrieval
(STTS boasts over 10 meg of text files!) and it carries TriBBS Net
and Pen & Brush Net, both QuickMail echoes.

STTS's primary emphasis is on the message base, though use of the
On-line magazines and text file areas runs a close second and
third.

Sunlight Through The Shadows's SysOp is Joe DeRouen, your not-so-
typical struggling young writer from Texas.

Joe DeRouen, 24, has been running Sunlight Through The Shadows for
exactly one month. (Though he's been BBSing for nearly 10 years)
He's had poetry and articles published in PIM as well as various
non-electronic 'zines, including Dallas, Tx.'s "The Rag". He's
written several short stories and exactly 1.5 novels, none of which,
alas, have seen the light of publication.

In his spare time, Joe enjoys listening to and collecting CD's. Prizes
of his music collection include all but two of the complete run of
Chris DeBurgh CD's from Europe as well as an autographed postcard sent
to him by Mr. Deburgh himself.

Joe's married to professional programmer Heather DeRouen (who also
shares SysOp duties of STTS) and attends college part-time in search
of that always-elusive English degree. When he's not running his BBS,
writing, and whiling away his time on other thankless tasks, he works
temporary jobs for Kelly Services.
