So far I've not been sending through your offline (in the new iteration of the bbs), but I have been reading messages to me online, and then downloading from the echoes I'm active in, including this one... I've been answering pretty exclusively through Tiny's BBS, since it's BW door allows me to utilize the longer subject lines (and people like Maurice often use that full capacity) without truncating subjects like using QWK does (including in the BW reader).... ml> i do have another user that cycles uploading messages between three ml> or four BBSes... And I know who that is... I tend to usually answer specific echoes on specific bbses, and only use the other bbses as a backup when access is temporarily gone... and to keep that manageable, keep up with regular message packet downloads for whichever echoes are available at the various bbses... which also serves as a double-check that messages are flowing, both mine and overall... :) ml> plus there's whatever path the messages may take from where they ml> upload their messages... this path used to be reliable and easily ml> used to track down problematic systems but with "fidoweb" and going ml> "against the grain" of fidonet and not sending duplicates, there ml> are numerous paths that may be taken... Yup... and I'm just as glad to not have to really deal with that in my lowly position of user.... ;) ttyl neb ....
