   I understand, but disconnecting a system, for me, is the "last resort", when   
   all attempts at communication with the Sysop to resolve whatever issue has   
   failed. The problem at hand is not severely disrupting the operation of the   
   network, its a minor annoyance that for the time being, can be ignored by   
   hitting the "Next" key.   
      
   What some folks don't understand, is that over the years my system has been    
   the receiving-end of a few Netmails threatening all kinds of action if I   
   don't censor this user, that user, cut that systems feed, do as a moderator   
   says, etc... mostly due to some political BS over the history of Net 229.   
      
   I was only recently notified of this problem, within the last 24 hours, and    
   the suggestion was to cut the feed. Sorry, I am NOT dropping a system until I   
   have sufficient reasonable time to work it out with him.   
      
   I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm sure I'm "off-topic" and this can    
   and will be dealt with by Netmail.
