Hi Matt,

It was wild really. I've never had it happen before.

Matt, I gave the warning I could work with.  To me it was more important to 
keep things running correctly here than to provide the z1b with an additional 
feed.  Rafael was not the only person that had the problem with 'mail not for 
us' after you hooked in here.. If I remember correctly there was at least one 
other to whom this happened, suddenly and with no warning.

Also, when John Souvestre left Fidonet, he asked me to have Bob Juge connect 
here for the z1b. I did that.

I thought Phil re-tossed all the files for you.. matter of fact I'm quite sure 
I remember that he said he did..

First off, no one pays me a dime to do what I do, nor ever has. I'm a hobbyist 
just like you.

> To my knowledge I was the only one that was moved.

Nope, yourself and two others I believe. One from Germany I think, another from 
Canada.. I'd have to check... though as soon as I had you stopped connecting 
here, the problem went away.

Why don't you try Bob Juge?  Or there are a lot of people who you could contact 
in Filegate.zxx.. have you looked through the list?  Or you could have me try 
to find you another connection if you don't want to stay with Phil.. he may be 
having a rough time staying on top of things since Sept. 11 since he's in the 
armed forces, but he hasn't indicated that to me.

Sure, and he charged money for it... <g>

Take care,
Janis
