   So far I've not been sending through your offline (in the new iteration   
   of the bbs), but I have been reading messages to me online, and then   
   downloading from the echoes I'm active in, including this one... I've   
   been answering pretty exclusively through Tiny's BBS, since it's BW door   
   allows me to utilize the longer subject lines (and people like Maurice   
   often use that full capacity) without truncating subjects like using QWK   
   does (including in the BW reader)....    
      
    ml> i do have another user that cycles uploading messages between three   
    ml> or four BBSes...   
      
   And I know who that is...   I tend to usually answer specific echoes   
   on specific bbses, and only use the other bbses as a backup when access   
   is temporarily gone... and to keep that manageable, keep up with regular   
   message packet downloads for whichever echoes are available at the   
   various bbses... which also serves as a double-check that messages are   
   flowing, both mine and overall...  :)   
      
    ml> plus there's whatever path the messages may take from where they   
    ml> upload their messages... this path used to be reliable and easily   
    ml> used to track down problematic systems but with "fidoweb" and going   
    ml> "against the grain" of fidonet and not sending duplicates, there   
    ml> are numerous paths that may be taken...    
      
   Yup... and I'm just as glad to not have to really deal with that in my   
   lowly position of user.... ;)
