 -=> Quoting Chip Hearn to Scott Adams <=-

 SA>         Yeah I see...were both confused (see the advnet echo dicussion
 SA> :))
 SA>         Been a long past 6 weeks with all the problems and storms...
 
 CH> Yea, I've been rather busy lately, haven't been posting nearly as I
 CH> use to.  Actually watching the Monday Night Football game and doing
 CH> some posting.  :)
 
 SA>      Yeah.  Well this last 2 months are my trial period to determine
 SA>      if I stay up or not.  So I'm watching the activity.  I know
 SA>      the feeling about busy though.

 CH> I'm going to leave my board run for as long as the systems can handle
 CH> it.  Some days, I get zero callers, others... 20-30... just depends.
 CH> Usually, if someone was looking for something and I mention I have it,
 CH> then I get a bunch of callers... all after the same thing...  :)

     Yeah.  It depends on the time of year and such.  Same for me.
     I've not checked last couple weeks on status but its a steady
     % as I glimpsed the charts...

 
 
 SA>      I've done so many emails over last 3 months on things
 SA>      for the net I forget what we ever talked about..
 
 CH> Doesn't really matter any more... the connection is still there and
 CH> mail is still moving.  :)
 
 SA>      Yep.

 CH> The only problem with Mirage, Sky, AdventureNet's, is that the posting
 CH> is sporatic at best.  Like today, I get a 200K packet, and looking
 CH> through, the large majority is from those networks... and then I'll go
 CH> 2-3 weeks <sometimes more> with nothing.  <Yes, I replied that day or
 CH> the next, but wait for half a month or more for a reply back!>  :)

     That's two fold.  Folks sit but don't help out.  Only so much
     one can do on their own.  Second as far as I am concerned I'd
     love to post every day like a decade ago.  But its just too
     busy in life to do that with any frequent success.  Like the
     last 2 weeks I've had some serious problems which I'll explain
     later in Advnet to do anything.  All valid reasons as well :)
     From modem fried to brother in hospital.

 CH> I know someone changed something.  For some time, I was getting no
 CH> connection to binkp.ispaceonline.org.  Now, who is that?
 
 CH> I just checked the logs and all my connections are working.  Now,
 CH> lemme check some of the mail.  :)
 
 SA>      That's mark too.  Same person/site/computer.  Yep.
 
 CH> Yes, things are working, no worries.  :)
 
 SA>     Holding fingers :)

 CH> Ditto!  :)
