WD> Bob's number has to be there as I take/deliver this conference there.

I know:

 WD> Anatoli definitely is linked because not too long ago he even posted
 WD> here.

That proves he was linked at that time. Maybe still is.

 WD> Brenda Donovan is there as well and she is nowhere in the service-path.

9 and growing  :-) She was bridging this area to me in mar..sep/2001.
I don't see her node now in seenby, but I don't see your node too
except in paths so it's being removed due to zonegate or tiny-sb by
some software in the way.

One more reason to don't release as direct echomail links.

I had even forgotten about zcc-public, are you doing those crossposts
manually? Maybe I can set an automatic crosspost here with the carbon
copy option of fastecho (not sure if that works this way, but is easy
to test), this would be an alternative to the previous comment I had
made to Janis.
