   Find out what areas they are in.  Reading into the thread I see stats echo   
   being mentioned.  I see that two systems post large messages there.  229/2000   
   with messages around 400K+ and 123/500 with messages around 130K+.  My node   
   does not split passthrough traffic but does split traffic originating from   
   itself.  Its been many years since I ran squish but I recall even with 'large'   
   the message buffer is either 512K or 256K.   
      
   Some folks forget that others run software that might crash or not pass on   
   large messages.  Even though many of us run systems capable of handling large   
   messages; all to often the software cannot or at least is not configured to do   
   so.  At least squish is smart enough to skip them.  I suspect there are   
   tossers that stop up completely when they encouter very large messages?   
      
   Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
