Good points.  I'd say that i seem to get a roughly 50%
acknowledgements on netmail articles sent to the FIdonews.
THis imho is a netmail routing issue as much as anything
else.  That seems to hold true whether I send an article
through my primary routing path, which is my system  3634/12 and onward, or
through Janis.  NEtmail everywhere else seems to work quite reliably, whether
sent through Janis or
primary path.  That's all I know, that's all I can do to
troubleshoot things at my end, but that tells me that bot
Mark LEwis' system and Janis's route mail correctly.

Low traffic doesn't concern me as much, but an echo devoted
to the FIdonews should be regarding either the publication,
or news of FIdonet, for sysops and users alike.  What we had going on in this
echo was a disgrace to FIdonet.  Both zc1
and zc2 know how I felt about it.

I've in no way in expressing my concerns endeavored to point fingers at
individuals re the routing problem, I"ve
endeavored to state what I know to be true in case it helps
diagnose the problem.

Bjorn and I have some major differences of opinion on some
issues, but not on others.  Even so, what he received from
me he published.

Fidonet isn't the only noncommercial communications
organization that has deep seated political troubles these
days it seems.  I've been battling them on other fronts as
well, all in the interest of systems that better serve the
public.


Imho this is something the zcc needs to address, but I"ve
said that all along iirc.

Regards,
           Richard
