Subj : Remove To : Jack Yates From : Ross Cassell Date : Sat Sep 29 2001 06:24 am Hello Jack! 29 Sep 01 08:18, you wrote to BOBBY QUEEN: BQ>> A netmail slipped by me on 9/19 but I did find out that one more BQ>> echo needs to be removed so could you please remove this echo BQ>> from NAB distribution. Thanks. BQ>> MEXICAN_LINK JY> Bobby: Why are you removing an active echo from distribution? I have only been collating echostats via a master "MONTHLY" report since May, prior to that it was by day and week.. But: May 2001 = 25 Messages Jun 2001 = 0 Messages Jul 2001 = 2 Messages Aug 2001 = 4 Messages My Monthly statistics for September will finalize tomorrow night and I can add that number then if need be? (being too lazy to look at the daily compiliations when I am 36 hours away from a final number) When I looked "in" the echo this past July to make a case for culling some of these dead echoes, all the messages in this echo that I saw were in Espanol. Dont ask me what was being talked about.. I wouldnt call this echo "teeming" with activity, the average for the months I provided only equals to 7.75 messages a month or 1 message every 4 days, if one chose to look at it this way? This is complicated by the fact that many in Z1 may not be able to read espanol? However by the book, Bobby is following same, regardless if it sucks. Bobby has been out to control the configs of others for quite a while now, you see he doesnt understand ones ability to use AREAFIX to pick and choose their echoes, if Bobby is pulling from his uplink what he used to pull from me, he is only really pulling less than a 1/3 or a 1/4 of the backbone and thats the Z1B rendition to boot. He must be able to control what he receives, yet doesnt understand that others possess the same ability he has? == Ross http://www.the-estar.com:8080 ross@the-estar.com or rcassell@home.com ICQ = 5305939 ....
