Yep, I have downlinks in a couple of Nets, and will email the Sysop if I 
notice a lapse of a day or so.  So far that seems to have worked well in 
getting some corrective action done.  I have had to put a couple on 
"pause" for a few days until they happened to bother to check email.  Not 
sure how that happens in today's world, with email-on-phones being the 
norm as far as I can see.  <SHRUG>
