 BP>>> you are still connected to dead ubuntu ?
 ml>> no, you reconnected it with your link message...

 BP> i dont understand it yet

you have hubs and and you have leaf nodes... the leaf nodes remove dead
echos... the hubs remove dead echos... some hubs are connected to other hubs
for ALL echos... even new ones being newly created... you send a post in a dead
echo that doesn't exist and it is automatically (re)created on upstream
systems... this (re)creation continues on up and down the distribution
stream... some hubs or leafs do not allow auto-area-creation... some do allow
it... then you end up with separated puddles of systems with a dead echo that
was removed and then added back because someone posted a silly link test
message in it...

 BP>>> why blame me ?
 ml>> because you did it...

 BP> how ?

see above... every time you do this, you reset the counter on dead echos... it
is not a GoodThing...
