Yes. You're only able to pull stats since the last "-R" was used. So, your
original statement "seems I can't have it both ways" stands true.
This isn't one of FE's strong points. It is a tosser/scanner & packer tool,
firstly, after all.
From my notes, I can see that I switched over to weekly stats back in '97.
Back then there wasn't a lot going on then, to justify 24-hourly reports... it
seems.

Ah, I think I 'see' what you're talking about now. The "pass through" traffic?
That stuff may only show in the system link summaries and not on a per echo
basis.

Yes, the 'Export' posts are those locally generated by a BBS (if any) or your
BATch scripts whenever FE does the scan out. E.g., my own posts on *this* node
do not show in my main node's stats. Only as 'Import' traffic.
Cheers,
Paul.
