You wrote "I really don't know". In my vocabulary "not knowing" implies ignorance.

If you have a problem with what you choose to call my "hassles", there is a simple solution: use the next key when you see my name in the from field of a message..

It is called "freedom of choice". How I spend my time and energy is entirely my choice. If you have a poblem with that: use the next key.

He reported that DS-Lite broke the connection with his Fidonet uplink and it also broke the access to his system at home from his place or work. (Ipv4 only there).
As far as I am concerned: EOT.
