If you want to get some exact numbers going on here, it's 4. Three of those
systems are yours (Daydream which seemed to work fine, Iniquity which has tons
of problems of it's own, and now Renegade).

In the previous message I replied to, it seemed like you were still unaware of
that fact. You kept asking people if it was present or not.

That explains it enough for me.

I'm not so much "pissy," but just being direct and to the point, since I feel
like I've been repeating myself, whether it be here, or in netmail, or in
e-mail.

Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but in my opinion this echo out
of all echos in Fidonet would definitely be the place to do your testing, so
keep on truckin' and hopefully you can get whatever issues you have with the
porting resolved.

Since it was brought up by another, you might want to change your real name
from your initials (if it allows you to) on my system, too. If you can't, let
me know and I can do it for you. Hopefully I/we can avoid the floodgates of
hell being opened on that matter from others here in this network, once people
figure out that D'Bridge isn't really a virus. :D

(That bit at the end was just a shameless plug for someone else, he knows who
he is.)
