I've made some changes that should start tonight, will let things run next 1-2 days to check all is well before next steps

1) Set stats for 1/10 and 1/100 and 4/100 to post to FSX_BOT weekly on a Sunday (New Zealand time) they were daily to FSX_STA until now

2) Set stats for 1/10 and 1/100 and 4/100 to upload each day to fsxnet.nz as they currently do - so no changes there I hope.

3) Set file announcements for 1/100 to be posted weekly to FSX_BOT they were daily to FSX_FIL up until now.

4) Set weekly nodelist/infopack announcements to be posted weekly to FSX_BOT until now those posts were into FSX_FIL

all of this (if it all works) should reduce/stop the posts from 1/10 and 1/100 and 4/100  to both FSX_STA and FSX_FIL and also change the frequency from daily to weekly.

If all works well in a few days I'll be more confident to remove FSX_STA from the echomail areas...  and we'll need to work with node posting to FSX_FIL to start using FSX_BOT again if they want to post file announcements.

I figure with some systems it may be hard to get them to post file announcements say once a day or once a week as I suspect a number of systems are on auto and just send out an announcement as/when files arrive... I'm not going to die in a ditch over this, but figure a daily or even once a week file announcement post is of more value in the signal/noise ratio of BOT posts - agree?
