Vince,

Total Active Sysops 911 Excluding Overheads

Bullshit !!

Proof ?

There are 831 individual listed sysops in the nodelist, give or take a few.
You probably are counting multiple sysops such as all the versions of "TJ Barlow". "Listed" does not mean "active" ... if of those 831 there are some 150 active then it'll be a lot ...

You are probably counting bogus sysops such as "nobody". "UUCP", "Oklahoma_City_OK", "Gatekeeper", "N5030_SYSOP", "N5030PK"...

So please stick to your own segment and drop that crappy software in the trashcan, a few easy clicks will do that.

While I'm at it, please stop spamming my netmail area every first of the month with statistics I'm not interested in ... you're doing that with other people as well. They don't like it either.

Take care,

I find the stats interesting. And I am sure they can be refined.

Be kind.

Yes it does not do any analysis of the names used - it could prove some what tricky as to what are valid and what are not.

The Host for these should be controlling such matters but clearly they fall down on that job as they do from many admin tasks.

So please stick to your own segment and drop that crappy software in

The service is offered to all not just "you" - personally I find it
interesting that the counts just keep going downwards over, not a long time period.

My system sends out a list of connected eCho and files to all connected system but I have removed you from that standard option - (it defaults to on) and no
I am not involved in such like.

Removed but you could have done so yourself using the normal filemgr and areafix tools at any time.

You're starting to sound like our fascist keyboard-warrior Nodelist Police.

They're always looking for problems, always pouncing on imperfections, always with their little effeminate passive aggressive micromanaging techno-dick mannerisms and rudeness. Week after week... all over a silly textfile.

All because I refused to play dictator, refused to tell my Sysop neighbors how to keep their backyards clean.

Maybe if you and some others were to start paying IT-admin salaries, that
file would be taken seriously here and kept to your expectations.

Leonard Cohen wrote a song where "Everybody knows" that the ship is sinking.

Stats stopped being interesting around '96, '97 and became annoying when they became shoved down my throat every week or month. Always from Linux systems, always from some Linux weirdo who loves playing mathematician.

Please remove me from the Areamgr/Filemgr Netmails as well. Thank you.

Not hardly, I look after my region at 25 and that includes trying to ensure that there is nothing incorrect, duplicates, etc, etc so I see no reason why other cannot do the same, it is after all takes very little time.

See above - other wise providing the system is working I dont give a shit !

neighbors how to keep their backyards clean.

Did that with a payroll over $200m py - I am retired so do not have to concern myself other than checking the royalty, dividents keep appearing with appropriate anounts.

I keep very few such stats and only got involved with Netstats when I found of load of errors in the source.

Stats are useful to some sysops who wish to try and keep their systems working at peak. For me it is a habit grown from working on mainframes over a few years
- like 60+.

Please remove me from the Areamgr/Filemgr Netmails as well. Thank you.

Done - all helps to cut down on paper.

Why should the burden of switching it off rest the receiver? You say it is "on" by default but that was not always so. In any case it was not when I set up a link with you many years ago. It was switched on without me asking for it. Such "features" should never be "on" by default. I have more then three dozens links. It would severely cloud my netmail area if all links would have this "feature" enabled.

OK, thanks for switching it off.

I have a few processes that run here to ensure uptime and that the mail and nodelists are moving. Other than that I really have no need to do housekeeping or babysitting. Almost everything on this system was automated long ago.
