Not trying to find a problem on your system, but to give you first hand education on how to approach the subject, diplomatically and tactfully, something you didnt do when you set out on your quest. DR> You post whatever you want to publicly. You are doing one hell of a I didnt post my initial findings publically Dale, I took it privately, you took it publically, do you deny?

The above 2 examples are a Todd problem, you did remember I sent netmail to the 3 of you? 10/345 or 379/1 should never ever follow the other from my viewpoint in travelling to me. A copy of a message sent from downstream of you should be sent to each 106/1 and 10/345, 106/1 sends it to me and vice versa from Todds end and everyone elses end, in a proper mesh. I should never see pathlines like I quoted if everything is working correctly. DR> and the forcedpath test works? The offer still stands for you to DR> create an echo to "expose" these problems. DR> Even if you should happen to strike gold and find a real problem, DR> GREAT! I want to know about anything that I may have over-looked. Questions (you answer) A. In what medium did I inform you of the anomaly we are talking about? B. Who took my messages to you and replied to them publically, thusly making it a public thing.? I in good faith netmailed you about an issue I thought you ought to be aware of, and to which _YOU_ were _NOT_ the _ONLY_ recipient of said netmail. I in good faith made a honest attempt to put the involved parties in the 'know' so that _they_ could correct this error. I in good faith did not broach this subject with you or the other 2 publically, but privately, you chose to drag it out publically, why I do not know. Having said that, if there is a next time and I say (IF), then what the fuck good will it do me to take it privately with you if you are gonna peacock around publically about it? Sure no big deal, you feel that since running NOBOGUS (MARCH) that you grew a brain, bad logic there Dale ole boy. My NOBOGUS usage is to detect technical issues that involve dupe loops and piss poor meshing, I dont use crystal balls and Ouija boards like you appear to do. I did not expect, or require you to respond to the message I sent you regarding what I had found, as far as I was concerned, I did my part and it was in your hands to deal with or ignore the info. Funny how the other 2 didnt have much to say, but I suppose with enough coaching you can win them to your side? However if this is how you react when someone politely tells you something, then perhaps you can understand the reaction of others when you browbeat them? Face it dickwad, my informing you of the pathing issues was in no way shape or form an attack on you or anyone else, screw me for trying to do you a favor. I sure as hell hope that if a neighbor sees smoke rising from a portion of your house that it shouldnt be, that you wont fucking crucify this neighbor for dialing 911? == Ross http://www.the-estar.com:8080 ross@the-estar.com or rcassell@home.com ICQ = 5305939 ....
