 RS> These dropped messages were sent weeks after my RC changed, 

yeah, it took a week or two for the gated synchronet echos to start running
traffic again... i didn't see the messages to me come in or i would have
responded... my apologies if they did arrive and i don't recall them...
i've not gone looking back for them...

 RS> There were multiple replies to you which were lost (e.g.
 RS> http://vert.synchro.net/msgs/msg.ssjs?msg_sub=fidonews&message=1386
 RS> 82) and never read, so I grew frustrated and moved on to other
 RS> problems and venues.
