Yeah, that makes good sense.  I don't know much about Mystic but have
heard that is a common issue.  There are .BSY files used in Synchronet
too, but they seem to be self-clearing as designed.  <SHRUG>

Most of my downlink issues seem to be when a system goes down for
whatever reason, and the sysop doesn't seem to notice for a day or two.
I keep a much closer eye than that on my stuff.
