    Mike,

    I want to Unjoin the MIN_DEBATE echo #2105.

    I looked around the Web Portal a bit under headings like POLITICS, CHAT e and couldn't figure out what message section it was in.

    Let me know where it is found or IF You removed it from my message scan.


    Ed,
    Have you tried issuing a DROP command in SLMR? Try that first, if it does n MR>work I will see to removing you (I am sure I can find a way!).

    Mike

    Mike,

    Yes, I tried a couple of days ago but I'm still getting messages in area
    2105 in my QWKs.

    Is there a way on Telnet to see the areas listed by number so I could
    drop the area myself?

    I'm not against TELNETting, just lazy. ;-)

    Now that I have a FTP script and .BAT file to run it I just type a few
    letters and press the Enter key and all the work is done for me except
    renaming the packet in SLMR.

    Was the example above of what I do here to get QWKs a good enough
    example of lazy?

    I will try sending another DROP message to area 2105 in this .REP
    packet.

    Ed,
    There actually is a way, but I tried that. I telnet'ed in as you, and it says that you are not joined to that one! Some bug-a-boo I need to figure out, no doubt!

    Nothing wrong with automating a thing or two when you can!

    I'll check all the sections of the web portal and hunt for MIN_DEBATE
    for myself.

    Mike,

    I found the Micronet Debate sub under the Politics Current Events Forums
    on the web portal.

    The MIN_DEBATE sub was marked NO but I tried to mark it YES so I could
    save that setting and then return to mark it NO to try to set the BBS on
    track for me but when I checked to Save it it was unchanged.

    While looking through the subs I saw the Computer Support/Help
    Discussons sub under the Hardware/Telecom/Technical Forum section and
    when I tried marking it YES I got the same response.

    So I thought I'd read some messages in that section on the web portal
    but when I tried to open the sub I got a


    ERROR

    You don't have sufficient rights to read this sub

    message.


    That sub may be called MIN_COMP in my .QWK packet.

    If it is I think I've seen it but can't remember if that was the MIN sub
    I've read that just had Reports or some such stuff that I ain't
    interested in looking at anyway. ;-)

    I hope my tinkering hasn't fouled anything up on CCO.

    Let me know if You're ready to BAN me from all Subs or not. ;-)

    Ed,
    It is becoming obvious that my attempts to segregate the Micronet areas for the QWK node BBSes that pick up mail here just simply is not working. If you can live with the issue a few more days, maybe I can figure something else out.

    I think this should be fixed now. If you were joined to any of the 2100-series MIN_ echos, you will need to rejoin them. They are now prefixed MN_ and are in the 2900-series.

    You should also now be unjoined from MIN_DEBATE. ;-)

    I didn't get any messages in the MN debate sub.

    Thanks for Your efforts.

    When I read Your previous message #6 I was thinking of telling You that
    I could live with the MIN Debate sub being in my .QWK packets, but I
    read message #7 and saw You went to work to fix it.

    I hope doing that for me doesn't cause others to have a problem with the

    Thanks.

    Ed,
    Separating the areas for the QWK nodes vs. the actual users was something that needed to be done. Trying to use the same numbers and areas was causing a few additional problems that I had also noticed. So, it is a good thing!

    It is difficult to tell for sure how much we got in Frankfort as what initially came down didn't stick. I think there was 3 inches in some places this morning, but my driveway didn't have nearly that much on it.

    Mike,

    Since You done the work on the BBS (for me) I haven't had any messages
    in WindowsA or WindowsB, and maybe not any FIDO messages.

    Would You please check that out?

    Here is a list of Subs in the Last Two packets I got:

    7 SBBSHelp
    128 ModelRR
    1079 DrWho-Brit
    1215 MEMORYLANE
    2005 TECHNICAL
    2006 PROGRAMM'N
    2902 MN_CHATTER
    2904 MN_COMPUTE
    2905 MN_DEBATE

    As I wrote below about the Debate sub, Don't worry about doing anything
    for me about it.

    I can live with the few messages and extra few bytes in the packet it
    takes up.

    I'll leave it alone, If I want to read it I will, If I don't want to
    read it I won't.

    I don't want any more of my suggestions causing problems for You AND
    the other Users of CCO BBS, but IF You can check and see if the FIDO
    feed is working or not everyone who reads those Subs will appreciate it.

    Thanks. Ed

    P.S. I hope this message doesn't raise Your Blood Pressure.

    Mike,

    Thanks for checking the FIDO stuff.

    I DID JOIN Sub 2904 MN_COMPUTE the other day on the web portal so I
    could read the messages there.

    As I already said I'll let the other 2900 series Subs in my packet stay
    there.

    Sorry to hae bothered You with it last week.

    A few days ago I had several FTP sessions and several web portal
    sessions and late at night I checked for mail on FTP and got a message
    saying something about I've already logged on the MAXIMUM TIMES for the
    day.

    So I just waited for the next day to check mail by FTP. ;-)

    BBS = 1 Ed = 0

    I'll learn the rules to play by if I keep on trying.
