  • Pointless test

    From Bob Roberts@VERT to All on Saturday, January 30, 2021 12:00:07
    From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet

    This is a pointless test message, to determine how long it will take a message posted in alt.bbs.synhronet to make it back to me on the Synchronet Fido echo.

    It's currently noon Pacific.

    Depends on your polling frequency from/to vert and vert's polling
    to/from alt.bbs.synchronet.
