Subj : File, file; who's got the file To : Janis Kracht From : Paul Williams Date : Mon Aug 27 2001 04:00 pm Hi Janis Kracht, hope you are having a nice day JK>Hi Paul, I *WISH!!* ];> There's now a pair of low pressure zones on a collision course for right over my head and w/ the way that sort of thing makes my joints & muscles ache... >>Now the current mess wrt some stupid routing chart in some >>silly file echo, while of some entertainment value, does little >>to address the real problems of this network such as keeping >>mail flowing and helping out (the infrequent) new sysop or moderator. JK>I know what you mean ;) I spoke to Foxy about some of the problems in JK>the echos and she'll be looking at them. I just saw a msg from her to Marc/k I think it was abt there being 2 systems in a net gating one of my echos. ???!? 'Tis only one person supposed to be handling them atm and that's Dale Ross. I'm keeping the old accts active in case of an emergency, and to help in missing msg detection, but I'm not passing any msgs though. >>Now every time I have attempted to link up to a file area, my >>requests have been interpreted as a echo request which gets me >>no where. As such I don't get them and accordingly this whole >>list thing is simply jambase filler here. JK>Hmm.. perhaps that is due to how you are addressing the request? On a JK>good number of systems you should address the request to ALLFIX JK>@nodenumber of your uplink.. Here at 1:2320/38, requests for file echos Used allfix, filefix and areafix. Not that it matters that much. Aside from nodediffs (which i get) and le schanooze there's not that much I'd find of use. A 95meg zipped demo of some '9x game just doesn't make sense. Now the f-prot & norton a/v deffs would be another story. ;> JK>So check with your uplink and find out how to address your message :) Allfix says allfix or areafix or filefix. >>However if there's anyone w/ an outdated filebone list in service >>it's got to be *me*. :> JK>I see that your copy of the filebone list is indeed ancient :) Old ZC JK> Bu..bu..but I updated it once already, how often am I supposed to keep doing it? (the echolist is not much newer, & areas.bbs? ) ;> -=> Yours sincerely, Paul (keeper of the really old crap) Williams <=- ....
