   Yes.  You're only able to pull stats since the last "-R" was used.  So, your   
   original statement "seems I can't have it both ways" stands true.   
      
   This isn't one of FE's strong points.  It is a tosser/scanner & packer tool,   
   firstly, after all.   
      
   From my notes, I can see that I switched over to weekly stats back in '97.    
   Back then there wasn't a lot going on then, to justify 24-hourly reports... it   
   seems.

   Ah, I think I 'see' what you're talking about now.  The "pass through"   
   traffic?  That stuff may only show in the system link summaries and not on a   
   per echo basis.

   Yes, the 'Export' posts are those locally generated by a BBS (if any) or your   
   BATch scripts whenever FE does the scan out.  E.g., my own posts on *this*   
   node do not show in my main node's stats.  Only as 'Import' traffic.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
