Hello Bob, and other readers ...
That is a very good point Bob. The only problem I have noticed
is the regional, or national, that is NOT to go world wide IS
which makes it pretty useless...unless someone enjoys it.
Here in Ontario, we send to ALL@ONT and Canada ALL@CANADA
but it seems that means nothing., Perhaps a local sysop
likes to keep his numbers up.
From Toronto in the south to way up North ... we in Ontario
are blessed with a great system. We have enough BBSes to
access and of course make a home at for packet mail. Also
via the system, we can jump to a ham's local packet mailbox
which has I guess lowered the SPs locally, thus lowering
the msg traffic.
I don't know, but I suppose you read Paul G4APL's posting
on the matter, and that was great reading...many thanks
Paul for you posting.
Oh before I move along Paul ... I will try address an SP
to you and get the Address assigned you..I think I mentioned
last time that it was an Ontario BBS station that seems to
want to be your home BBS. Will get back to you...
Due to this latest round in PACKET@WW ... and "Switching OFF"
WE all have even helped sysops that have dead undelivered mail
in their BBSes, by letting them know what BBSes are no longer
around ... I got an SP from one ... so I am glad that that
diddie of info helped him.
Since Sysops are reading this .... VE3YRA went offline
June 2007. So if you have undelievered mail for VE3YRA
and VE3FJB ... you can kill them.
Sorry to say...I can not say just forward to VA3BAL..because
like my neighbour ..his address is still at FJB <g>...

Exactly! But then thats their new mode of the hobby.
I hear via my internet mail, that these gentlemen, are
well educated, and could be a most wonderful source of
information, as opposed to Interneting it....BUT then
to act this way, shows perhaps they've hit the peaks
of whatever...no where to go but down...or they've burned
out and need someone to , as you say pouce on.
As for their disgraceful activities and postings...well
that is so obvious ... read a few of them.

Yes, Bob. It is time to get back to resonable discussion
and thats why I included some calls that have started that
process, and commented on their postings which have been
I think read by our sysops over here.
Time for me to get moving... I need that cup of tea,
thanks to all the postings in YL@WW re the perfect tea.
