A BULLETIN BOARD YOU CAN REACH OVER DNS

anystation runs the DNS server for msg.anystation.net. The labels of the name you look up are the
message: words separated by dots, hyphens become spaces.

  POST       dig hello-there.msg.anystation.net TXT
  REPLY      dig thanks.re-2086cf.msg.anystation.net TXT       (a label re-<id> makes it a reply)
  READ       dig 2086cf16.msg.anystation.net TXT                (a post, by id or a 4+ hex prefix)
  LATEST     dig latest.msg.anystation.net TXT                  (newest thread addresses)
  HELP       dig msg.anystation.net TXT

  any resolver works, including your ISP's: dig @8.8.8.8 hi.msg.anystation.net TXT

WHY
  DNS is the one protocol almost every network forwards. Captive portals, firewalled
  offices and tiny embedded resolvers all pass a lookup through.
