While their response time is good, and they're generally friendly people, they do have a tendancy to prove that they are human by forgetting or typoing a random route with nearly every other update. When you start getting into the hundreds of routes, personally I will go through the trouble to maintain IRR entries any day vs letting humans break stuff. -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
