Strange because I just hit him.

He's not accepting any mail that I have on hold for him so I guess I'm going to pull him from my bink-d config. I may need to establish a connection with you... but I've always been told you charge.

Don't know about my fist but the modem took a bit of a crumple. Anyhow he is sporadically connecting, but it's not accepting any inbound mail packets so effectively he is done. I haven't got anything from him in a long while.

From your own nwstar.com website. It doesn't sound like a donation to me and that's why I have never approached you, and many others have told me the same thing. If you take donations I've been known to send unusual things in the mail that are almost always appreciated.

Yes, Ross is down now. He did such a great job - he'll be missed a great deal but he'll be around in social media. I guess I'll even have to rejoin facebook
to chat with him now and again Lol

Mark Lewis is now in the dailylist as R18C, see dailylist/nodelist.051 (z51) I expect good things there :)

Ben Ritchey is taking care of the backbone.* files as of this past week as well.

Take care,

I guess it's the bitterness of having a feed go down on you for two and a half weeks before it come back up and then wasn't fully functional for some time after that.

Especially when your name is being drug through a cowfield full of hot and steamy cowpies in another echo you don't have access to on other systems. Toward the end you graciously gave me access to that echo but he came back online after that.

Since then I haven't kept my eggs in one basket. And as I am starting to feed quite a few others I try to provide the best and most solid service I can.
When Wildcat wasn't doing it I self-sacrificed and moved to synchronet for all of my mail/file operations and it is doing the job at a higher level than Platinum Express ever could do. In fact, with the solid state drive I can literally have a .pkt turnaround in just seconds upon arrival... and that includes over a million usenet messages that are going through my filters and going out for those who are feeding usenet (both as nntp and fts) from me.

I'm actually almost caught up with the backfill of a lot of the larger newsgroups.

My fiber connection is no where near capacity I will help those I can help where I can help them.

All I'm askign is for a few links to a couple of echos that only moved through ross when I had them.

Bob,

I will never appraoch you again... I have spent many years in the courtrooms of the communities I have worked at. You added the term PLUS after that.

The first part is the reason given ... everything after that was a PLUS

Let me put it to you like this if you said

I did it but...

Nothing past the but matters you just said I did it.

If you said I was there and....

Nothing pas the word and matters you said you were there.

If you said this is why plus... the main reason why is the part infront of the plus... now the rest past the plus does not paint either of us in the best light. THe main reason was neutral enough.

Have a great day... I will not respond to anything further.

I'm thinking that could only be one possible reason. Not necessarily the only OR correct reason. Given the current actual situation. The reason that I would
perceive would be that he desired to get things on his end setup prior to taking on more downlinks. It would seem that your perception is being controlled by you attitude regarding the matter. JMHO.
