I'm still fairly certain that this was         g0> SB> biggest problem.        g0>         g0> I figured this might be what you struggled with. I could have done        g0> better.              Very correct, sir.               g0> MIS POLL was introduced during A45. I believe I gave people 2-3 years to        g0> stop using fidopoll before I removed it entirely. Its mentioned in A45        g0> prealpha and A46 release notes to stop using fidopoll because it will        g0> vanish eventually.              Except for one problem: not every Mystic SysOp has been a SysOp for 2 or 3       years, sir!               g0> I mentioned in A47 that it was gone but it was an oversight of mine not        g0> to mention something like "If you are still using fidopoll you need to        g0> go replace 'fidopoll' with 'mis poll' in your scripts or event        g0> commands...              Absolutely, you did mention this! And everyone who supports Mystic has done       the same.              Again, I'm not being combative, when I say, 'You didn't mention the 'Interval'       change!'               g0> I didn't stop and think that people who just joined Mystic in A46 would        g0> probably not have seen the warnings to stop using it. I don't think its        g0> a problem with the upgrade process as much as it was a (hopefully)        g0> one-time mistake in my patch notes. I am sure I'll screw those up again        g0> though :)              You really need to stop and think about us McNoobs, then.              I fully agree, this may be just a problem with a46 vs a47! But it's still a       problem that this McNoob is trying to help others understand.               Please, sir g00r00! Teach me! I can only share what you share!              McDoob       SysOp, PiBBS       pibbs.sytes.net              ... I don't have the time for a hobby.
