Hello Andrea!

10 May 01 20:08, you wrote to Stewart Honsberger:

Excuse me?  I am so!

 AS|> -> Have you ever heard the saying that "The Internet removes

 AS|> I'm currently being fed by a node several hundred KMs away

 AS|> Impressive.  My uplink is Todd in HI.  Former uplink was John in LA

It does when there are people not responding to requests.  I know of a few that 
have had trouble.  At least one came to us *because* they couldn't contact 
anyone in thier Net/Region.

 AS|> -> LOL! How utterly petty of you!

It is entirely petty of you.  And so humungously hypocritical that I almost 
choked.

 AS|> -> Is it any wonder that Fight-O-Net is dying so rapidly with

 AS|> Perhaps you'll rethink the counterproductive thing or have you
 AS|> forgotten I'm an NC who can instantaneously list the node, eh?

Oooh ... are we supposed to be impressed.  The ability to "instantly" list a 
node is irrelevent to your thought process here.  Your thoughts are counter 
productive.  Excuse us if we actually are taking the time to teach new sysops 
how to join.  Perhaps if things were done in other Regions/Nets in the active 
manner we have done, there wouldn't be this argument.  (Not discounting that 
there may be some activity in this area in a few Regions/Nets - but I have yet 
to see advertising of them in a suitable forum for those looking to join)
