Good morning Mark,

 HG> To my knowledge we don't have an echo named FIDONEWS available 

ml>FIDONEWS has been around for almost as long as the snooze has... it
ml>is a disputed echo because both are claimed by the same person who
ml>doesn't moderate them as they should have been by many other's
ml>thoughts... that person even contributed to a lot of the fighting
ml>and arguing that has taken place in both echos...

Sounds very similar to what is read in the FN_SYSOP echo. It has calmed
down lately though. Now there's more serious discussions like this one.

ml>no, more likely one or more Z1 node numbers... probably those of the 
ml>backbone star systems (which some call a troika while acting like a 
ml>troika themselves) but with the traffic flowing, obviously not 
ml>blocked any more if ever at all...

Maybe they are just charging up the batteries, BG.  We'll see.

ml>FWIW: i am (mildly) curious as to the delay and where it occured... 
ml>it could have been as simple a think as a typo in a password or
ml>directory name on any system between you and me (at least)...

Well, so am I but I haven't read anything from my feed since I sent him
a clip of your findings.

He works abroad quite nuch but controls his server(s) rermotely.

ml>we've been down to the high 40's F... have turned the heat on so
ml>that it won't get much colder inside than 65F or so... old bones, ya
ml>know? ;)

OK.We had a second frost night after the first one but now temperature
is up around 6-8øC in the mornings rising to above 10øC later.

Have a nice day,

Holger
