 JK>> Because "shit happens" with some systems, Stewart.

Good Grief!  I *pay* an ISP for service and they screw up occasionally, you
want constant perfection for free?

OK.  If all the systems at the Zhub level who have made/caused/suffered errors
were to close up shop due to your presumed incompetence are you prepared to
offer free access to your perfect system?  Will I be able to pull mail from
you?  Will all of us have this privilege?  Do you volunteer to take on the
responsibility of all the mail in Fidonet?  Is that what I'm reading here?
