    Does this area just carry gated usenet traffic from the above
    newsgroup into this FTN echo?

    it used to but i thikn the gating system has stopped, gotten broken or otherwise just isn't doing the gating any more...

    Just trying to understand how it works and why things may have been
    quiet for quite a while here?

    yup... but then again, it was kinda boring with the crap posts coming from the usenet side of the fence, too...

    If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.

    That's a good thing. I can't stand the usenet traffic that does come through in most FTN echos.

    I'm surprised we don't see more DW posts, to be honest. The new Doctor just started a few weeks ago.

    I had reports from a user that the feed on my bbs was dried up
    while on other bbs's he visits there were extra posts... just
    looking into that now.

    FWIW: it used to come in here with the following tear and origin lines... these from the last post seen from the apparently gateing system in july...

    i've invalidated them for this posting... looks like something happened over at 1:2320/105... i'm not sure what's going on over there on mike's system... i haven't seen or heard from him in a few months...

    yup... but then again, it was kinda boring with the crap posts
    coming from the usenet side of the fence, too...

    I'm 50/50, there are still some good newsgroups with interesting
    content, but agree there's a lot with dross in them too.

    agreed... it really is too bad that the alt.* groups became such a wasteland... i mean they were kinda designed for such but then came the mess foisted by at least one person whereby you can't even remove a group created by accident because their system immediately recreates it... someone else's political carp, ya know? [smh]
