    Generalize much? "...people there..."

    As one of those Z1 people, I would say that nearly all do *NOT*
    route netmail to their *Cs.

    What are you basing that on? Have you conducted a poll of all Z1
    Sysops?

    Now you're doing the same thing as Drummond was... Excessive
    snipping and not enough quoting.

    Go back and look at the rest of the prior message that you snipped
    out. The part where it says "when communicating with their *Cs".

    That's what I meant there above - that people don't *ROUTE*
    netmail to the *C. They send it direct/crash (to the *C).

    I receive a fair amount of routed Netmail through my system
    destined for all zones. Sometimes a slip-up of someone's Othernet
    Netmails make their way through here. And the Nodelist Police
    need someone to blame when they cannot Crash deliver something.

    I have no doubt that's true. That mail is not usually destined
    for a *C, though, is it? It's destined for regular node sysops,
    or possibly BBS users.

    It would be nice if the *C-routing structure was consistent no
    matter if everyone wants to Crash deliver; because with BinkP and
    everyone getting feeds from everyone else it is almost impossible
    to determine the routing table for a Zone.

    No argument from me on that.

    I don't have to go back - I know what you said, I know what I said, and you
    are still wrong.

    Many people route Netmail to yours truly at 1:1/0.

    Usually either just to say hi, sometimes to ask tech-questions or sometimes to file an amusing Nodelist Police complaint. They do not send crash to 1:1/131, 1:229/0 or my preferred address of 1:229/426.

    Oh yes, I am the only one guilty of that.

    Then why did someone suggest sending netmail direct to their RC when that appeared to be what they had already done?

    I would have thought that a node would crash their *Cs direct but the advice made it sound as if that wasn't the usual MO.

    That's as true as it is untrue. You simply don't know.

    Judging on the volumes of netmail which I process, it certainly is untrue.

    Nah don't worry about it. I'm on it, it will get fixed with the RC.

    I'm up 99% of the time over the last year and a half! (well, maybe not THAT high!) Yes.. I've only been down for a whole day once in the last 2-3 weeks from me 'breaking' things...

    I knew you would ;) Over the last month I've been doing alot of upgrading, I wanted to make sure I had everything running smoothly and continuously again before I made a mention of it. Now everything is running great...and faster! :)

    Considering that Fido systems are sitting idle more than 99% of the time ... is speed really an issue ?

    For downloading, yes. Anything else is a waste unless you do a lot of uploading.

    You're talking about transfer speeds, not processing speed.

    Yep! If just running Fidonet, that reduces the equation dramatically.

    The KY hub, Allen Prunty, has been offline for a while.

    Just was in touch with the gentleman in question. He suffered a stroke and is recovering but has no access to a PC. I take it was getting in touch from a smartphone or tablet via Facebook.

    He seems in good spirits.

    Wow, he mentioned that he was having some issues but did not mention that!

    Hope he is feeling better soon!

    Mike
