My impression of Tommi (although I don't know him) is that he is a mail
mover, part of the solution not the problem.

Bjorn mentioned something about removing the mystic echo becuase he thought
it was a gated newsgroup. I think it was in the fidonews echo. I told him
it was not and a few others also chimed in to let him know that as well.

I don't think he removed it but I am not sure what happens in his part
of the world.

I dunno. I think there was probably some technical problem somewhere.

Indeed, Mystic has a large presence in the networks and the BBS scene
generally. You do have support, regardless of who pushes what we do have
solutions.. :)
