Likely fat finger syndrome on that one. I have yet to find a diet for fat fingers, but if they're too small, it's hard to hold the silverware (hi hi).

You WERE NOT correct. Look back at your first message (warning), about

Hello Al,

That should be in my Tagline file someplace. There used to be many of them in the tagline echo, not sure if it's still active. I've stolen many from there and put a few in myself.

It's not as active as it once was but there are still posts there from time to time.

I have not found any reference to it.
If you find it still somewhere, maybe you could drop me a NM?

normally, the way fidonet echo linking evolved and was designed to
work, you would simply send an areafix request to your feed for an
area...

Good idea!

top distribution loop or it is not found and a "not found" message is
sent back down the line... if the area is found and linked, it is
passed back down the line and each system adds it into their feed list
and passes it down to the system that sent the request for it and so on until it reaches your system... those intermediate systems may carry
the echo to you as a passthru area or they may select to add it to
their local message areas...

Yep, and it used to work well years ago. I remember carrying passthru areas for my downlinks. There wasn't a lot I wouldn't actually host on the BBS, but downlinks had a way of finding something obscure. :) Areafix has served me well, that's for sure

that's the way it is supposed to work but many don't understand these things and ignorantly break the system because they don't know...
others break the system on purpose because they can... either way, it either works or it is broken because of someone specifically breaking it...

Ignorance can be cured through education, provided that the person is willing to listen. A friendly netmail or even phone call to explain things. The more malicious ones, just hope they're not hosting significant feeds! :)

Yes, you are correct. Checking through the database for CHRIP, shows
that you were the first to use that "name".

Nope, IRC, Richard wrote CHRIP in his first warning text about the

My apologies went to Richard.

BTW, it's a long way on the keyboard between 'i' and '1'.
See your word "b1rds". Dyslexia or what?

Radiosport (contesting) is an art...tagline stealing is a science. <G>

Actually, it's not stealing...it's gathering research. :)

Seriously, in the 25 years I've been in ham radio, and doing traffic nets...some ways that I've heard other net controls do their preambles, I've incorporated some of that into mine.

It seems to me that your Host, Vienna_Net, doesn't know how to handle
Areafix, Arealink, etc, requests.

Neither do you have any options to change to another host in your
country, because all nodes are managed by the same SysOp.

But you could do as I, and all other nodes that have existed here, on
the Aland Islands have done, change to a Host in a neighbouring country.

Finland has officially two native languages, but here the only official language is swedish. Most of the finnish ones have been managed by folks
having finnish as their native language.

I'm now on my fourth swedish host. The previous SysOps have either died,
or lost their interest in Fidonet.


Have a good night,

Holger

that sounds about right... as i get some time, i hope to script something to extract X numbers of taglines from my ~12000 line tagline file and post them to
the echo... the file is modified almost everyday, though... adding new ones and
removing close duplicates... i already have a routine to sort and remove duplicates where spaces, punctuation and case are ignored...

i think holger is speaking of the uplink being set up to forward areafix requests up the line instead of having to get the operator involved to have them manually go find the echo and connect it in...
