John, it looks like David got scared off denodelisting, and the situation is now:

1. David is about to become my hub.  Dave Hatch is closing down.

2. David is not going to provide AUST_AVTECH, BBS_USER or LTUAE, and
probably not anything else he considers undesirable.

3. This is only going to be for a couple of months, after which time the
situation could be either worse or better, I don't know.  The reason for
the couple of months is that David will be leaving after that time.

4. There is one echo I am currently unable to access, FTSC_PUBLIC.


Would I be able to hook into you for all 3 or 4 of these echos (FTSC_PUBLIC
is not listed on your echo list)?

I think the best way to do this is you hook me in, then you tell me it's
done, then I disconnect.  I am not worried about sending dupes to Dave,
since he's not going to be complaining for very long!  Actually, can you
hook me into LTUAE + BBS_USER by sending me an areafix request?  That will
make sure that the computers synchronise without me getting in the way.

I will organize a better mail feed, one way or the other.  Actually, are
you interested in providing an alternative echomail distribution source? ie
all echos?

Thanks + bye.  Paul.
