I don't use them myself, but the way I interpret the docs says that SCHED
never run at all unless explicitly named in a commandline switch.  If
invoked, then all the "global stuff" before the first SCHED is
run followed by whatever is between the specified SCHED tag and the next
SCHED statement.

I also don't flavor anything "normal" as that is basically
"unflavored" and still leaves the result open to any following
commands. So I basically do:

CHANGE CRASH normal world
SEND HOLD 
SEND CRASH 
ROUTE CRASH 140/1 

The CHANGE is there to catch any BBS-entered netmail or routed netmail from
downlinks that already had the crash flag set, and force it to follow my
routing logic instead.  I deliberately don't reflavor anything that's
already HOLD, because I like to use the Bink outbound screen to change a
CRASH node over to HOLD manually if they are NO ANSWER, not responding, or
rejecting my sessions due to a stray .BSY flag.  Once I manually put them
on HOLD, I don't want Squish re-CRASHing them again in the next run.

So I'm having difficulty imagining the flow of yours:

SEND NORMAL 
ROUTE NORMAL BOB 
SEND NORMAL world
SEND HOLD 

It would make more sense to me that you single out the HOLD folks first,
then NORMAL the known folks you want to deliver to, then ROUTE the
leftovers.  Also curious as to if/when you actually call which of the
schedule events.
