I wouldn't take it to the bank. Privately doesn't mean that it can't
be passed on down to someone. Might not even be in Fidonet since the
Elist covers more than Fidonet.

but FamilyNet is larger in message areas that Fidonet it seems... at
least from looking at the elist.

Just receive segments from my one Hub and process the Node segment
each week. Not complaining, you understand. :)
