wrong... if you see your nodelist line is not proper, you should be contacting
your immediate *C to get it corrected... if your *C is set up so that you can
control your nodelist lines, then it is up to you to fix it... of course that
means that you would know fidonet technology and how a proper nodelist line
would be fashioned for your node...

oh, it is for the whole community... sooner or later, someone will fix the
problems... especially when they are publically posted...

 HD> So please send such information to your college *C's by NetMail.

nope...

 HD> I think all *C's have to do their work silently.

some are quite noisy... apparently they do not think like you do

yeah, right...

 HD> Good luck in doing your work.

i'm doing mine just fine...

 HD> And second, why do I have to read this same message 3 times in

because it was posted to all three... use your next key and remember that not
everyone carries every area... some carry only one of the three... some two...
some the other two...

 HD> also a stupid configuration I think.

don't think...

yeah, don't think
