Hi Andrew,

Of course they can, a number of folks have.   I was simply mentioning the
obvious... If I did not tell a node to pick up their traffic at my 24554 binkp
port, then there will be no traffic there.  It DOESN'T mean no one can CONNECT
there :)  :)  Most people connect with my bbbs port, 24555.

You are being a bit silly, IMO, Andrew. As I've said, anyone can connect
there. This month has been especially nasty _weatherwise_, though, and for
example my Internet connection was DEAD for almost a week.  No one can help
that.. That was caused by my ISP being down, Point Broadband (right now we are
connecting fine however. As 'they' say, S___ happens :) )

You are probably sending email to my OLD email address which was
janis@filegate.net.  I _closed_ that account quite a _long time ago_, and have
posted my new one here in fidonet!  My new email address is jmklou@gmail.com.
Dallas Hinton knows this email address, several others do.  Sorry you did not
seem to know about it.

So... please change my email address to jmklou@gmail.com.

Time to make dinner....

Thanks,
Janis
