   Oh, I've been around Fido for years...  I learned to have always some   
   sort of backup to, if nothing else, see if my messages have made it out   
   anywhere else...   So I always have been getting my messages from at   
   least 2 bbs's, and always have my messages included in the packet.    
   Messages were always going missing in the GENEALOGY echo... and since we   
   were looking for vital info (pun partly intended), we tended to check up   
   if there'd been no response... "Didn't you get my message? Should I   
   re-send?"  :)   
      
   But I tend to only send out from one bbs, usually...  until a time like   
   this.  And then I don't know how reliable or not a place is for sending   
   out messages until I actually try them out.  But, yes, I've got things   
   worked out pretty well now... for now, anyway...
