Subj : Dupes - 1:273/416 To : Dale Ross From : Ross Cassell Date : Mon May 21 2001 11:51 am Hello Dale! 21 May 01 18:12, you wrote to ANDREA SANTOS: >> What did you want him to do....fly to Upper Darby?

Sounds alot like a Souvestre philosophy, US vs THEM. He is your buddy too, he is a hobbyist, a sysop.. do you deny? DR> With any problem you want to solve it at the source.

Openning up a whole bunch of doubt, like what you went through, in 273/416's case, a specific issue, definately dupes and such, but that node and his immediate uplink are unreachable, you suggesting 140/1 run NB because you say so? How bout running Win2k on a Timex Sinclair because I say so.. <> Seriously Dale, my reasons for relaxing NB back in Feb were lame and it would have caught that issue, as it started occurring at that time TTBOMK, however once informed, I caught configured to catchem. I however as stated over and over no longer felt comfortable trying to use a crystal ball in trying to guess what might be a dupe, instead I concentrate on what are dupes. You of course will disagree. == Ross http://www.the-estar.com:8080 ross@the-estar.com or rcassell@home.com ICQ = 5305939 ....
