FTN is more widely supported but can be a lot of work for the hubs to
keep the nodelist up to date and weed out nodes that just vanish and
also adding new node who want in.

These words ring true to me... it's a mix of nodes that vanish or nodes that have issues and the HUB can't connect to them (IP block in place etc. etc.) that can be a PITA from my POV :)

Oh and hi Al :) Long time no chat... hope you're well and not too hot in Canada right now.

Yes, there is a node in net 153 that seems to have vanished, but I don't think he's vanished, I suspect a technical issue. I'll try to figure that out. :)

Hi! :)

Long time no chat... hope you're well and not too hot in Canada right now.

It's a little warm right now. We're expecting 35-37 C over the next few days. It's supposed to cool off to 27C next week with a little rain so I'm looking forward to that. :)
