Clarification - by "we" I meant those that are the Technical staff
that supports BITNET (and develops as well). I have an idea of what
1/30th of Eric has had to deal with - I am trying to say that we should
all support him in efforts to finally getting things running smoothly.
Supporting him in saying that 'non-backbones are troublesome'
and all stand for a manageable policy such that further work will
not be hindered by past mistakes. The line must be drawn
