    DC>>> If you're in Zone 1 (North America), why would your Hub be in Zone 3   
    DC>>> (Australia)?  Looks to me like your hub is probably 1:135/300.

   this one is/was, yes... he also has/had a Z3 address...   
      
    DC> Wouldn't he likely be hubbing from that Net?   
      
   maybe but systems can get a feed from any other system they can set up an   
   agreement with... long gone are the days when one supposedly had to get their   
   feed from within their net...   
      
    DC> Why would a person have a node number in a Net, and not get mail from   
    DC> that Net also?   
      
   there are any number of reasons, really...   
      
    DC> A related question.... why go all the way to Australia for your feed?   
    DC> :-)   
      
   why not? even from way up here on this side of the earth, Oz is less than .5   
   seconds away ;)
