I wasn't talking about exceptions, though. I was trying to help       someone        NB> fix their issue with normal operations.

Do you agree?              Sure, you don't want to confuse your audience. But you were saying you can       only contact points through their boss as a fact without exceptions. And that       simply isn't always true. That's why I felt I had to write something.                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523        * Origin: Amiga Offline BBS Lisse (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0 214/22 218/0 1 215 601       SEEN-BY: 218/700 720 840 860 870 880 930 940 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 114 200 206 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 550 664 700       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/1038 291/111       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26       SEEN-BY: 5020/400       PATH: 280/464 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
