It looks like the biggest bump of traffic this network got was talking about my absence, I can gladly go again if it keeps the traffic flowing ;)
Thankfully for Mystic, Husky and a shit load of perl scripts, things
kept humming along just fine without manual intervention. Apart from a nodelist error and one freeze that I can remember in the past 4 or 5 month, this network kept ticking.

Not that I know of... ;)
I may be asking you about RNtrack in the near future though... Either
that or a few how-to's on Perl. ;)

Ask away.
I'm not sure if I really need something like RNtrack, but could probably do everything I needed with HPT and perl, but I don't know perl...
What exactly is the error you are getting with RNTrack and can you send meyour config file so I can take a looksee.
I'm not sure if I really need something like RNtrack, but could probably do everything I needed with HPT and perl, but I don't

I don't use HPT for ping responses, that is handled by RNTrack. I have some custom perl functions that do get used by HPT but it's
stuff like Test
message responses to posts made in certain echos and some echomail cleaning that has to happen before it gets posted to the SCINET.*
newsgroups.
So I use HPT for ping/pong, route validation (netmails bounce if the target isnot in the nodelist), bouncing netmails to users at the hub (since its mailonly) and netmail loop detection.
If you wanted to go that route, I can share my perl.
I found out that neither of our systems were catching a loop I had going between us a few days ago... One of my test netmails started
bouncing between my system and your Sportnet hub. I think I ended up with about 150 messages in a matter of a couple minutes before I
could intervene. :)
If you could, that would be great. As I stated, I really don't know perl at all. Unless it was Minnie Pearl... ;)
But I dont think it was the "same" message being "forwarded" (which is
the loopprotection), it was replies to a message, and thus each message going back wasa "new" message?
If it was indeed the first scenario (where a message was being routed,
and thusbeing forwarded between our systems), I'd like to debug that -
as I'mspecifically trying to catch that scenario...
OK, I'll package it up tonight and drop it in your inbound with some destructions.
If you wanted to go that route, I can share my perl.
Yes, I think hpt was routing it to you, you sent it back, hpt re-routed it... That's what happens when you miss a setting in your hpt
routing... ;) It should be corrected here now.
If it was indeed the first scenario (where a message was being routed,
and thusbeing forwarded between our systems), I'd like to debug that -
as I'mspecifically trying to catch that scenario...
I know that my end was adding a via line to the message, so I guess it could be considered a 'new' message.
If you wanted to go that route, I can share my perl.
I'd be interested in peeking under the hood.

You know, helping generate traffic is often the job of a coordinator on a smaller network. This might have been a seriously unconventional way to dothat, but it seems to have worked!
After being glued to the tv over the past two days watching an election that has nothing to do with me, I no longer try to assume anything, EVER.
Ha! Right?
That's a good way to drive yourself insane. You might as well wait a few days(or a month in this case...)
Are they checking for hanging chads? Are the PA folks using beans to do they counting? Is there a bean shortage in the oddly named midwest (it's actually north central/east)?
I think they are trying to be super careful and do everything by the
book sinceobservers are in place from both campaigns. In addition due
to wacky PA statelaw they couldn't even open the mail-in ballots until
the morning of ElectionDay. And with millions recieved due to COVID,
they just need more time toprocess them all.
I totally get it. As someone who has spent his entire adult life working and being in politics, I completely understand that you need to protect the integrity of the process. I, like almost everyone else, are patiently waiting for the results, just wish that they would come quicker.

I live in a state that folks often make fun of for being backwards and fullof stupid hicks. A couple of other nearby states get made fun of
the sameway. I think it is interesting that all three of our states got our votesall counted, high mail in volumes and all, shortly after the polls closed.
Nah the Republican's fought to prevent the state from counting ballots untilthe night of the election, so they literally have to go through MILLIONS ofballots that have to be opened, validated, and scanned by a real person. Lotsof manual labor.
Several battleground areas were prevented from starting to count mail in ballots until the night of election. I know Pennsylvania was and I
think therewere others. Lots of other areas started earlier and many smaller and "redder"states had signficantly less mail in ballots to
count.

No offense, but that is how we always do it in Spain and the counting is donein a matter of hours for the whole country. We don't use automated counting atall.
I think they are waiting for the various fishermen in Alaska to come
back to port before they start to count. Either that or they are taking
a shot of something every 1000 votes counted and they keep passing out.

I have actually never heard of PA being referred to as the midwest. Ohio,Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and maybe a couple of other statesare known as "The Great Midwest." IIRC, that comes from "The MidwestTerritory" which is what the area was called before the colonist
/ newAmericans had moved much farther West of the Mississippi River, before theyhad any idea that America would really become "from sea to shining sea." :)
the ball than us. OTOH, here you also cannot change your vote once
you've cast it, but you can in PA so maybe there is some logic to not counting them beforehand.
That may have happened in some states but my understanding of the PA situation is that the state didn't want to count them early and won a courtbattle which allowed them not to.
I have actually never heard of PA being referred to as the midwest.
According to the US census, those states were referred to as the "North Central Region" until 1984 when they changed it to "Midwestern Region". It's just funny to see it referred to as the midwest when it's no where near the midwest.
I remember back in 2000 (?) one of the Pacific NW states took a long time because *all* of their ballots were mail-in? So, like you said, who knows!

I suspect they will be able to get an early-count law passed after the elect before the next one since there won't be a presidential election on the horizon.
First you get the presential voting and people puts their ballots in the urn.Then the voting stations get closed for the public and the mail-in ballotsarrive. They put the main-in ballots in the urn and mixe them
all. Then theyget counted, all of them.
People complaining corruption are just people who are mad because their candidate isn't winning.
Barefoot, toothless dumb-dumbs who can oddly enough count. :)
You can't do that here in PA either that was some bad information circulating ound.

Don't worry, we've had a long time to get all of those wrinkles ironed out. We're way ahead of the curve on vote-by-mail in WA now. GET ON OUR LEVEL, OTHER STATES! :P
There is undoubtely some of that, but quite frankly, there are enough videosaround of people placing foul ballots in etc to consider something fishy isgoing on.

That wasn't just on any "fake news," PA and several other states actually did show up if you googled it. Dark days when you can't even trust google!LOL!
No there aren't. If you're going to make a statement like that show it.
There is really no need to start counting ballots while there are
ballots stillto be cast. That is asking for trouble.
We also have nominal mail-in ballot kits... you have to ask for them in yourofficial station (usually the post office). They issue one to you
when you askfor it, in hand, with ID and everything, and a lot of anticipation is needed.Then you may fill your ballots at home as you prefer and ship them using theregular post service. It makes it "hard to vote" because you have to go to anofficial station with ID and
everything, but you save yourself any shitshowabout elections getting fixed and whatnot.
Fun fact: from a Spanish radio station somebody near here is listening too:"The US has no fucking clue about counting ballots, but we don't
have a fuckingclue about counting our dead, so maybe we are even?"
No there aren't. If you're going to make a statement like that show
It's on the internet or facebook therefor it must be true, lol.

Honestly I don't understand what you were trying to say there. But I can ass

Source? Care to share them?
When people make outlandish claims I tend to ask them to prove their outlandish claims. It's funny, a video or photo or something that people suggest exists to support their position would be very easy to just share,but they don't, instead they say "google it" or "research it yourself" whichis an obvious dodge.
I hate posting political stuff on the small BBS community.. but I think this election had the same amount of regular 'issues' or 'fraud' that happens eve election. I think the people spoke; and whether or not I agree with the outcome/winner, I think the citizens spoke and chose a President...
I don't think there is evidence enough to claim the results of the election aredue to fraud, but clues enough to point out the election was not clean in anumber of places.

If the Country/States can't handle tabulating votes then we should
have an"Election Month" not an Election Day. Voting by mail should be
the norm not theexecption. Why should voters have to wait on long lines? Especially if theweather is lousy. People should be able to chose for themselves how they wantto vote.

too. There's no reason to have all thischaos. This years elections may have been the best thing for this country.Something has to change and

The investigation cost 30-35 million. However they fined and
settled with various individuals for 28.6 million. Once the
forfieted properties are sold the total recovered will be around
42-45 million. Therefore it earned more then it cost.

I made no "factual error" in what I said. Since you conveniently
snipped it out, I'll refresh you: I said that $30M was spent on
an investigation. That is true. I also said this investigation
was trying to show that Trump colluded with Russians, and that it
failed to show that. That also is true.

On Tuesday, Judge Haaz promptly put Trump campaign attorney Jonathan Goldstein on the spot. The judge asked him point-blank if the campaign
was actually alleging any fraud. Goldstein went to bat for President
Trump while admitting that he was not alleging fraud, uttering the
phrase (twice): "To my knowledge at present, no." Legal experts said
that Goldstein's remarks were typical of a lawyer unwilling to risk sanctions or bar discipline in service of a client.
Rather than 'back and forth' lets just see how things go, shall we? Clearly we will not change the mind of the other much. Either Trump has
a case or he doesn't. He will win or be dragged kicking and screaming from the Whitehouse. I assume that we can agree for now that he IS
within his rights, under the law, to challenge the results as both
parties have in past elections.

or BHO. Hash isn'tfor everyone, and I think this vape shit is making my mouth bleed. This wouldnot be happening if I was just smoking weed.
But to stay on the bright side, at least they let me get a little baked.
Lol... its insane to be able to get the exact type of edible that doesn't make me anxious and is.. good.
If you get stoned at least once a day, and you don't become a stranger to weed, then I think that keeps the anxiety away. The buzz is more intense afteryou've skipped a day.
