Hi Ward,

Not to forget your message here Lol

I think he does.. he only has zone gates for zones 1 2 and 3.. Did you notice
he's updated it?  Maybe he's doing something with those node numbers that you
just can't figure.  I don't know what he's using them for, but I'm not going to
criticize what I can't know.

Oh c'mon .. how anal.. I advise my RCs that if they can't find a suitable NC
for a net, and they KNOW the net is alive and active, to just plug in their own
name in the net.  It makes sense.. sometimes oldtimers don't like to change
their network numbers.  Their setups have run for years without touching
anything.  Sorry you can't understand that but plenty of people over here do
understand it. You do things differently in Zone 2.. so what?

Not that I know of.. where do you see that one? Seriously..

If you are talking about Renato, well..Renato is somewhere between here and
there and he's not going to be in the U.K forever I'd guess... so Manuel is
holding his node number for him until he returns.. again, so what?  Does it
really kill you so bad? It's not like Manuel is still listing Renato as an
active Z4 node.. he's on hold there..

Lol.. Renato has has a link here since he was Z4C himself... again, I'm not
surprised he doesn't feel like changing his config :)

Yes, routed netmail is ok with me as well, but you cannot connect to him
direct.  He's not a "live node"..you HAVE to route netmail to him :) You can't
crash mail to him at all :)

And as far as speed goes, it's the same with the NAB.. I don't know why you
think it's any different :)

Take care,
Janis
