 CS> Nancy, I don't post every day.

Oh, I know that...  and I also know that it can be a while before you
do... not a problem...  :)
 
 NB>> We seem to be having a problem getting messages from Docs and from Owl's
 NB>> Anchor to Valhalla, and so now we are wondering if you are getting them
 NB>> either... Messages do seem to get from Valhalla out to other places
 NB>> pretty consistently... and unless yours don't get to Valhalla either,
 NB>> it would seem that yours are getting out, except that I've not seen
 NB>> anything from you in a while anyway.. :)

 CS> You seem to be looking for a daily message from me? 

No... just any postings whatsoever... ;)  At the time I wrote that,
you'd not been seen anywhere since before the middle of December.  The
last message I had from you in Cooking was on Dec 4, which I answered on
the 6th... And the last message from you in Asian_Link was also on the
4th and answered on the 6th...  Both of those I wrote from Valhalla as
that was the only place I saw them.  Before that, there had been a
similar incident in late November where your messages only went to
Valhalla..  [So my comment about yours getting out in the just previous
message from me (Jan 08) was more just a wonder if you had been getting
the messages that I wasn't seeing at Valhalla... see below for the
timeline and details.]

On the heels of that, there was the HUGE dump from R.F.C into COOKING on
Dec 10th, where a couple of your messages in that newsgroup were seen in
amongst the mess... 

Then, messages weren't making it to Valhalla... It started with just my
messages from Docs in A_L not showing up there (but everywhere else),
but Maurice's replies to me did show up, starting 17 December.  My
messages in Cooking were still showing up, though, thru 22 December,
and then I stopped seeing any more from anyone posting at Docs, again
only at Valhalla, not elsewhere...

 CS> You should not be having any problems getting messages from Dale
 CS> to Valhalla (other than an extra hop so may take a bit longer). 

That was what I had expected, but the fact was, that at the same time
that messages from Docs stopped appearing in COOKING, Dale's messages
also weren't making it in either...  And I also noticed at the same time
(and went back through my old packets to confirm it, later) that Joe
Mackey's messages in MEMORIES had also gone missing; he posts from Russ
Cassell's Fidonet via NewsReader on Eastern Star...   Made for smaller
than normal packets from Valhalla, for sure...  

 CS> Docs is a totally other matter.  Docs is a traffic black hole at
 CS> times that all of us have dealt with. 
 CS> Best ai can tell, you are seeing a black hole at Docs place again?

Not really...  messages from Doc's have been getting around to
everywhere else I check, and everything has been getting to Doc's... I
know it has been a blackhole in the past... but apparently not this
time... 

And, just for the record, as of my last packets downloaded, everything
seems to be working again, everywhere.... so what ever it was seems to
have fixed itself, at least for the moment..  :)  I even saw your
messages at the other bbses, as you could guess, since I'm answering
this one from Tiny's... ;)

ttyl        neb

... A rolling stone gathers momentum.
