   Oh man... We don't need old segments being pulled in :( :(   
      
   We just had this happen in nodelist.361, but I found out later that was due to   
   an incorrect segment being sent up the line to the respective RC.. in other   
   words, I thought it happened because of Makenl, but it was user 'error' at the   
   NC level.   
      
   When that happened in #361, it was a pita, because I had to create an   
   'otherlist' for a node that went missing over here.  The Dailylist didn't help   
   the next day since it also used the bad regional segment that day.   
      
   Anyway, Andrew, I just want to let you and others know that I appreciate all   
   the work you other folks are doing in coding and testing MakeNl_ng.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
