 CAB> You were making noises about Ruth and "No Route Found" this
 CAB> week, even though you *knew* her routing is direct to Dale:

 FF> Having trouble recognizing sarcasm, Carl? Tchk!

Some of us don't find a *EC proposing to distribute misleading routing info to 
be particularly amusing or funny, Foxy.

 CAB> A quick "grep MRVIA:1:379/1 nodelist.103" shows at a minimum
 CAB> all of the following as direct links to Dale: 1:379, REC12,
 CAB> NEC229, 1:167, 1:249, 1:2404.

 FF> Do you _really_ think I've nothing better to do than grep the
 FF> zone1 nodelist for *RVIA flags??

I'm just concerned because, once again, I'm seeing inaccurate info posted.

Am I seeing this because you don't know any better, or is this by design?

I mention the nodelist only because every node in Fidonet is required to keep a 
recent copy of it. If you're missing info that's in the possession of every 
node in Fido, I really have to wonder.

Certainly, given that the *RVIA set is very incomplete in many regions, the 
regional routelst files would turn up more than the half-dozen I've listed.

If even the number of nets feeding from a hub isn't known, what chance is there 
that those nets will all be identified correctly in the final routelst?
