Howdy! Roy,

 EV> I'm not sure how long You have been posting this Note to Me in this

 RW> First time since I was still thinking about your message to
 RW> Holgar, quoting the entirety of what he had said. Which
 RW> appeared right after a copy of the rulz were posted before his
 RW> message.

Lately I have had some connection problems when I've been running a
Batch File that runs a Script that I use to transfer BBS packets via
FTP where the DSL Server burps and interupts my .BAT from finishing.

I get connected to Mike's BBS alright, but when it asks for the .QWK to
be made I get a Error Message and have to hit CTRL-C twice and tell the
File I want it to stop running.

I opened the .QWK packets I got back then, and found out that I didn't
get one message number in this echo between those two .QWKs.

All I can figure is just after my FTP session asked for the .QWK to be
made, the BBS made the packet but the connection being interupted
caused me not to get the message between the last one in the earlier
packet, and when I finally got another packet the BBS had already
updated its Message Count for Your Echo and I got the next two messages
sent to me.

I hadn't noticed the missing message number until I looked last night
through the .QWKs and saw that there was one # missing between those
two packets.

 RW> You don't read the contents of echoes in alphabetical order?

MM is set to show echos that I Subscribe to that have messages in them
in the Packet I'm reading.

The order the echos are in is set up by the SysOp for the Packet.

From what I can see in the .NDX files the Areas are not in Numerical or
Alphabetical Order.

 EV> After I found I saved the Rulz sent on 05-05-2014 I did read it.

 RW> I'm not certain, but the rulz are posted here on a weekly
 RW> basis, along with the ARN, auto-robotically.

 RW> The idea is to pick out a part of the post you're replying to
 RW> and only quote that with your comments.

If it is the message I sent Holger Thanking Him for giving the Details
of what the entries in those WWV Solar Report messages I quoted the
whole message because I noticed after I pressed the R Key to start the
Reply that the DATA was all jumbled up, but the DATA in His Message was
correctly formatted on the screen when I read it but I didn't comment
about that, I only Thanked Him for the Instructions.

Two Lines, Me Bad.

Holger has tried to help me learn to use another Editor instead of EDIT
but I've went back to EDIT because it is easier for me to use than the
other editing program.
I wanted Him to see the mess at the top of the message so He could
comment on it, which He did.

 EV> Or is this the Final Notice???? ??

 RW> Final Notice of what?

That I'm BANNED from Posting in this echo.
I've heard from 2 others that You have done that to them in some other
echo(s) that You Moderate.

 RW> Question: Have you ever gone through the order of acception
 RW> procedure of the Whouff Hong? I have and that's a scary thing
 RW> to have in your past.

I stayed after the Midnight Hour at a Hamfest in San Mateo, CA to be
Initiated into the Secret Society of the Royal Order Of The Wouff Hong.

That's ALL that I can say about it in public.

I have Great Fear of those three terrible instruments kept encased in
Newington, Conn. , but have learned that some others have built a copy
of some of those dreaded things and have posted pictures of their
handiwork on their web site.

It is a fearful thing for me to go to a Hamfest thinking that someone
will see the Call Sign on my badge and pull one of those things out and
use it on me.
