Hello Roy,

On Thursday April 05 2012 07:21, you wrote to me:

Show me how/where EP1 conflicts with P4.

That was just show. Had she not done that, she had to admit that they were long
gone. It would have meant loss of face.

No, those are not a static IP addresses, They are valid - but not necessarily
dialable - phone number in The Philippines.

There is no net 2:2050.

It is painfully obvious that part of the nodelist is hopelessly out of date. It
has been YEARS since Carol left Japan. That entry should have been removed
years ago. That does not give much confidence in the accuracy of the rest of
the listings in net 3:800.

 RW> Same could be said of the EP in Z2...

One can say it but that does not make it so.

Without an Echomail Policy, there are no moderators and no rules for echoomail.


Cheers, Michiel
