   Hi Jeff,   
      
   >>> Here's another BBBS question. Recently I have noticed that when I do

   Oops.. hit on something, did I? ... hope that's all it was.   
      
   I always try letting bbbs read the nodelist first, as most folks have INA:   
   lines that bbbs can read.. It's nice because you don't then have the situation   
   where you might introduce a 'typo' :)   
      
   Now if I already had a node in the remap section from when before Kim added   
   'read INA', I didn't remove them.. figured why change what works :)   
      
   Anyway, here's one of them:   
      
   ,1:116/18.0,Neptune's_Lair,Memphis_TN,Robert_Wolfe,neptune.ddns.net,300,XX,CM,I   
   BN   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
