Richard,
 
     If you intend to leave Bitnet, then wouldn't your "downstream" nodes
have to connect to someone else?  If you leave the tables, then they would
be unreachable to the rest of the world (unless they connect elsewhere).
If you maintain a connection to them, it would only get used by you.
