No Warren we look at things from exactly the same viewpoint I am a
maintenance engineer and I very much view the network as a machine.
But as an engineer we have a saying 'If its not broken don't fix it'
You diagnose a problem with forwarding from faulty data, you observe
R lines but mis-interpret what you see because you don't understand
the implications of the simple protocol involved. You diagnose a
blown fuse and want to route round a machine that is actually working
perfectly.
Big risk here, world war could ensue so beware :-)
Please don't take any future accusations too seriously as most of
us understand how things function :-)
If there are faulty machines tell us which BBS is at fault but more
important tell us what the fault is.
You can't fix something till you define whats actually wrong.
I dont mean waffle about the problem in general and vague terms,
be specific with examples and tell us what the sysop should do to
fix the problem. You have now accepted that all BBSs use store
and forward and use the same simple protocol when forwarding.
Remember to stick to the point we are discussing which as
I see it boils down to 'what can a sysop do to control the paths that
flood forwarded bulletins take to reach WT3V'.
