And only about 40 days to go, now....

It might not be anything that the sysop can do anything about, just
built in to the bbs software that is being used... Is there a way to
change which path your messages would take, like sending through someone
else...? 

 MK> So far the only 'fix' I have come up with is to avoid using the

As in, not using "Little Mikey's Brain"...?

 NB>> I certainly was ready to take a break at the end

 MK> Understood.  You need to take a rest from the 'vacation'.

It wasn't exactly a vacation, for much of the traveling, just places I
needed to be....  ;)

 NB>> Right now we are in a really cold snap

 MK> So I've heard.  Up here in the Great White North, Manitoba and Quebec

For about a week there, we had well below average temps, both for highs
and lows, and broke a number of records... The next week or so should be
better... with highs into the 50sF or at least high 40s, they say...
That would be about 10C...   The about a foot of snow we got is pretty
much all gone now, except for the piles from plowing/shoveling....

ttyl       neb

.... Of course I'm on topic... Which echo is this anyway?
