It depends on your definition of "most". :)

I avoid routing as much as possible. I especially try to avoid the the top
level. There is a "plan B" for the nodelist in case 2:2/0 goes off-line, but
there is no top level initiated plan for netmail. 2:2/0 is vulnerable for the
Wevers effect, as has been demonstrated recently. Again..

I don't percieve craching as losing the fun of it. On the contrary,. I find it
fascinating...

My strategy is to deliver mail as close to the destination as practical. Direct
to the destination if possible, to the Host or Hub as the alternative. Routing
via de top level structure only as a last resort.


Cheers, Michiel
