 SH>>> Then they shouldn't be running systems on which so many people
 SH>>> rely.

 JY>> Good Grief!  I *pay* an ISP for service and they screw up
 JY>> occasionally,

 SH> Perhaps you should investigate a new ISP then.

Been with them since '95 and I have no intention of changing until we get a
better medium of transport here.


 JY>> you want constant perfection for free?

 SH> Yes.

You are a demanding soul, aren't you?  Why are you even *in* this hobby netowrk
with the rest of us, some of whom are rather klutzy?


 JY>> OK.  If all the systems at the Zhub level who have
 JY>> made/caused/suffered errors were to close up shop due to your
 JY>> presumed incompetence are you prepared to offer free access to
 JY>> your perfect system?  Will I be able to pull mail from you?

 SH> If you're having problems with your current feed, I'd be happy to
 SH> arrange a feed for you.

I am not having problems with any of my current feeds.  They all perform to my
expectations and I feel confident that they shall continue to do so.

 JY>> Will all of us have this privilege?  Do you volunteer to take on
 JY>> the responsibility of all the mail in Fidonet?  Is that what I'm
 JY>> reading here?

 SH> No, I won't offer my services to the entirety of the zone. I'd like
 SH> some of my bandwidth for myself, after all.

Then, if you cannot provide the ultimate solution, why don't you just shaddup
about the non-existent problem?
