The only network I've seen major netsplit problems on was SysopNet.  Then
¨again, since Mike Elhert runs ConferenceRoom, I see his servers going
beserk ¨every so often.  Personally, I still have my old Dreamforge/LakeSrv
setup ¨sitting here-I've never a problem with it.  I guess I just don't go
around ¨inviting people to get into trouble.

Yep.  But then again, whenever there's trouble, it always seems that
everyone's ¨idle anyway.  Most of the time when I go on Oddnet now,
everyone's idle anyway, ¨so I just don't bother with it.  To be honest, I'm
quickly losing my interest ¨in chatting and just prefering to keep in touch
via email/netmail/echomail.  ¨I'd rather spend my time programming or
working on my BBS to get it ready for ¨primetime than to sit and chat.

Then again, I do have Trillian up and running, but that's just so I can
keep up ¨with certain people that I need to talk to on a daily basis. ;)

Later,
Sean
