   Because we agree that ONLINE is not the place for arrivals 
and explanation of the relationship, consider the following 
text simply as a joke (although it was in reality).



   On the night of 17 to 18 May at three stations ZXNet fell 
sverhuporny user. It can be recorded in the Guinness Book of 
Records in the imagination (if not for bad manners). Subscriber 
number here not given (many mistakes in the beginning), but to 
tell you about This does not interfere.



   And so: about 22.40 was polluted drive DITRONIK-a BBS, from 
23.00 to 03.00 in the automatic mode, calls poured in for DT 3 
BBS, attempt to connect the voice with the user failed.



   The most interesting thing happened after that. From 04.21 
to 14.45 (!!!) in the automatic mode was set to ALEX BBS from 
the same user. Number was determined with the 06.20 to 14.45 
236 times! That's not counting the period from 04.21 to 06.20! 


   Now tell me, gentlemen, who among you will stand to sit for
computer in an attempt to connect to the BBS nearly 16.5 hours!

          Very truly yours,
                 STALEX

P.S. I personally think that the level of the user in the first 
place, measured not by the number of files to the server 
programs, and on Moreover, he introduced himself or not. When 
you first upload connection Sysop short letter about yourself 
(pre-cooked) and this will suffice.

   At ALEX BBS, on the disc "B" has a charter FIDONet. Who 
cares - can read. It is noteworthy that there are examples of 
various network showdowns and conflict-resolution techniques. 
Also there are similar cases misunderstood something users and 
sisopov-sectarians. 


   It is very important for our network.
