    Hello All,

    Just when you think you can relax, someone in zone 2 tries to start zone wars from zone 2. It's getting old and so are the usual suspects.

    I'm betting it's either the Swedish meatball or the Belgian waffle. ;-)

    Not the Swedish meatball nor the Belgian waffle... it's more like the Belgian fries that are always kissing the waffle's ass...and the waffle loves theattention. XD

    Not a huge deal. My twit filter has been adjusted nd I'll never hear from the Eurotrash(tm) again. I take solace in they'll all be dying out eventually.

    Oh yes, your net comes up regularly.

    They're not happy about the "9600" which follows the "Unpublished"
    keyword in some of your entries.

    I'm heading out to the store to get some popcorn. ;-)

    Oh, yeah, they pointed that out via netmail sometime back.

    1) I wonder how they have so much time to comb the nodelist to find such
    things to be upset about?
    2) Are they autistic?
    3) I actually thought I had fixed that - the only one with '9600' now is a
    node that actually does have a dial-up mailer answering calls.

    I think they have much of the grunt work done by scripts.

    2) Are they autistic?

    I'd guess that's quite likely. Certainly OCD at the least.

    3) I actually thought I had fixed that - the only one with '9600' now
    is a node that actually does have a dial-up mailer answering calls.

    Ahhhh yes, just looked and you have indeed fixed it. I had done a
    search in my nodelist-police message base for "2320" and found the
    subject being discussed, but now see that those were in older messages.
    Sorry for the false alarm... :-)

    It is an interesting echo sometimes, and is a good place to test your willpower regarding the "scroll on by if you don't like it" theory. LOL

    No worries. It was a good exercise just to double-check it to make sure I
    could stay out of their police blotter.

    echoes. ;)

    It involves netmail...it's personal.

    I'm betting it's either the Swedish meatball or the Belgian
    waffle. ;-)

    Now I'm hungry.

    On the ham radio nets that I check into, the topic invariably gets
    around to food. One of the net controls said "I'm going to ban that,
    as it gets me hungry".

    Well, H.A.M. stands for "Have Another Meal". <G>

    One ham radio operator mentioned that his wife had used the Instapot
    (I think that's what it's called) to marinate pork chops...letting them
    soak in Coca-Cola, then she cooked them. He said "they were the best
    pork chops I have ever eaten".

    As soon as he unkeyed the mic, another ham said "What's your address??
    I'll be there in 5 minutes". <G>

    On another net, hams were talking about the restaurants where they
    had their club meeting...and told of the website for the menu, for
    those in the area who may want to attend.

    I usually end up drooling all over my shirt and keyboard. :P
