 SH>>> Perhaps you should investigate a new ISP then.

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

 SH> Well then if you have no intention of finding a quality ISP, I guess

They're quality.


 SH> I find it an interesting human experiment. You all are fascinating to
 SH> watch.

Be careful.  You may not be on the side of the cage that you think you're on.

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

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

 SH> Then why are you asking me for a feed?

I didn't ask you for a feed; if you bothered to read the entire paragraph,
you were being asked to be the Zhub of all Zhubs, Capo d'Capo, Don of Dons.
One hub to serve us all with perfection.  There would never be another mistake
in echomail distribution.

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

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

 SH> When did I claim that I would feed every node in FidoNet?

You didn't.  You were asked and you declined.  Whilst you may have never been
guilty of a typo in your programming, you seem to miss whole words while
reading.


 SH> nicely trod into the ground over these past few years. If I can make
 SH> atlest one or two people conscious of the stability of their systems,
 SH> or even willing to try to aim higher, then my work is done.

Fine.  I'll try harder; how soon can you be packed?

 SH> What do you tell your boss when you screw up?

I'm the boss.  What I don't do right, I get to do over.

 SH> quickly would you find yourself on the unemployment line if you did
 SH> so?

Nuh-uh.  Sole proprietors don't have those benefits. We don't have the
government workling to find us a job when we screw up badly enough to get
fired.  We try harder; we have to.
