There could be prefectly legit CC> reasons why 106/1 doesn't do this. I didnt say no such thing, I would thank you to read what I said, not extrapolate from what was not there.. I said all matrixed hubs process instantly except for 106/1, I didnt criticise as to why he processes the way he does, I dont have an issue with the way he chooses to operate his system. How you can say I was imposing anything in what I stated, is beyond me, your own uplink processes instantly and I can assure you, I didnt impose it on him that he does so?

Similiar message propogation occurs in echomail as CC> -> well. CC> Ok, so from what you stated earlier above, time isn't important. Now, CC> are you trying to prove a point that time is important? I really dont think you paid a bit of attention to that which I wrote? A few years ago, there was accusations and innuendo that routing of netmail was broken within the zone and in some respects beyond. Whats key here is the elimination of any latency during _transport_... Here are things the mail haulers can control: * Transport Time What they cannot control: * Content * When the recipient either polls for mail or reads/replies to mail. The accusations of screwed up netmail routing, werent fun, your uplink realizes this, which is why he tries to establish connections where and when he can, I am surprised you dont see this and instead imply that minimising transport time is no big deal. == Ross http://www.easternstar.info recassell@charter.net, ross@the-estar.com, ross@easternstar.info ICQ = 5305939 ....
