I guess it's the bitterness of having a feed go down on you for two and a half
weeks before it come back up and then wasn't fully functional for some time
after that.

Especially when your name is being drug through a cowfield full of hot and
steamy cowpies in another echo you don't have access to on other systems.
Toward the end you graciously gave me access to that echo but he came back
online after that.

Since then I haven't kept my eggs in one basket.  And as I am starting to feed
quite a few others I try to provide the best and most solid service I can.
When Wildcat wasn't doing it I self-sacrificed and moved to synchronet for all
of my mail/file operations and it is doing the job at a higher level than
Platinum Express ever could do.  In fact, with the solid state drive I can
literally have a .pkt turnaround in just seconds upon arrival... and that
includes over a million usenet messages that are going through my filters and
going out for those who are feeding usenet (both as nntp and fts) from me.

I'm actually almost caught up with the backfill of a lot of the larger
newsgroups.

My fiber connection is no where near capacity I will help those I can help
where I can help them.

All I'm askign is for a few links to a couple of echos that only moved through
ross when I had them.
