===============================================
 ml> björn (did i get the proper ALT character? 148?),

   Yes you did. But you missed the capital letter first in my name.

 ml> do you have some sort of proof of "troika unreliability"??

   Of course I have! Lots of it. Are you really saying, that in all those years
you have missed all this? I find it hard to believe, even if I know you have
been hardly hit with tragedies in life, more than almost any of the rest of us.

 ml> i'm serious because i've been pulling my mail from the backbone star
 ml> configuration since john souvestre first became a connection point in
 ml> that distribution system... i had to move from john's system to another
 ml> one because he was having so much traffic and what i was pulling at 2400
 ml> baud was taking too long... it was a few months later that i purchased a
 ml> zyxel 16.8k modem... this should give you an idea of how far back i can
 ml> personally relate to the distribution system in question... even when
 ml> there were two "competing" star distribution systems in north america
 ml> (and with two linking nodes between them) i do not ever recall missing
 ml> any echo mail at all... every once in a while i would see someone
 ml> commenting on such but do not recall having that problem myself... maybe
 ml> once or twice but still, we're talking about a long long period of time
 ml> of excellent distribution... i was part of one of those distribution
 ml> systems at one time and there was also the WWB that came along which i
 ml> also fed off of... the WWB went away after some years as did one of the
 ml> north american distribution systems... even with all the switching and
 ml> flopping about of other systems in those distribution systems, i've
 ml> never had a major loss of echomail from the distribution system i've
 ml> been connected to... i've only ever changed my uplink connection maybe
 ml> at most 7 or 8 times in all these years... the only time that my system
 ml> might have been said to experiance a "loss" in echomail would have been
 ml> in this area and only in recent times when the north american
 ml> distribution did what many of its users asked it to do... that being to
 ml> break the link in this echo so that the fighting would stop and we would
 ml> not have to continue to read it after years of folk asking for it to
 ml> stop over and over and over again... even i asked for it to stop and
 ml> that got no where other than more of the same... deity knows i tried
 ml> asking in several different ways all to no avail... yes, i know that i
 ml> used to be a party to the fighting type traffic but that was also years
 ml> ago...

   I wish that you could have split up the above in readable paragraphs.

   As it's posted now, I bet that not a single soul would try to read past the
first line.

   Sorry, but this only proves how important it is not only to post a message,
but to post it in a format that'll make people actually rad it. The above was
definitely something that I would spend time trying ti decipher -- especially
with all the lacking capitals, that you always spray around your messages...
