 Ga> You don't have a good understanding of how modern echomail distribution
 Ga> happens.

ok, Maybe not FTN.. but truly.. FTN isn't "Modern".. it was never meant to be intantanious. as far as I know. except for netmail. and that was in a best case scenario "back in the day"

 Ga> When messages arrive at a hub, they are sent out to that hub's downlinks
 Ga> in a matter of seconds.  Yes, seconds.  There is ZERO chance that the NC
 Ga> (the correct "title") is going to catch/stop an offending message. ZERO.
 Ga> They come in, and immediately go back out to downlinks.  Even if the RC/NC
 Ga> was sitting at the computer with his hands on the keyboard, they could not
 Ga> stop the message from going downstream.

Ok, so your saying you have both you FTN and QWK networks set to CRASH anytime something comes in? really does'nt seem like something you would want to do with echomail.. maybe NETMAIL, but not echomail.. Now I have been out of the BBS world since about 2016 or so, so if there is another method besides FTN, and QWK. then yeah.. I have no idea.. but for qwk networks, especially with the traffic we get anymore, I'm not polling anymore than 4 times daily.. and truthfully, I don't believe I will ever setup another ftn network, lol I've been waiting close to two months to hear back from someone on a qwk hub for a network that I have now even forgot the name of because I've been waiting so long. I don't really know about not having a good understanding of the techonology I pretty much know how it works, even in todays "modern" world.
just my opinion, and we all know about opinions, modern echomail does'nt warrant instantanias transport. crash your hub 15 times a day for 15 messages.. lol. If a sysop is'nt doing that, they may every now and then catch a mistake, or spam or something before it goes down stream.
 

It was just an idea. it's not perfect.. nothing perfect. the best that can happen really is just twitlisting.. 

 Ga> LOL ... While some of the above is certainly true, "checking on their
 Ga> message bases" would have nothing to do with catching/stopping an
 Ga> offensive message.  It can't be done.

Ok.. if you say so..
