I totally agree with Sergej...

SYSOPs have been destroying (intentionally or not) the nature of forwarding for the BBSs by defining their own H-Routes sometimes, by totally dropping them the rest of times, or simply treating every message as sent to WW and flood all their forward partners with all the messages.

How many times did you see a message originated by a station in Euro, addressed to a European H-Route, and somehow it ends in USA or SOAM?
I know I have seen lots of those.

How many times did you see messages stuck with no forwarding route in your system, because someone addressed it to VKnet instead of AUNZ, or Latnet instead of SOAM, or ALLOH instead of OH.USA.NOAM?
Again, I have seen lots of those. Yes, I know we can define aliases, but seriously? how about proper addressing to start with?

It is the responsibility of SYSOPs to talk to their forwarding partners and see what where each HR is best sent to. draw a map of where to forward a message for someone else to forward it and have an idea of how many hops the message will take to reach each destination. I have done exactly that with my partners (see: http://aly-al0y.ddns.net:5012 for details of how I forward messages in my BBS).

I am sorry to say that, but this is becoming irritating and overload for the SYSOPs to keep track of all that non-sense. And not everyone use AXIP for forwarding. some of us still use RF and seeing these messages fly over the airwaves and occupying the channels when probably more relevant messages (think EmComms) can be sent, is just not what this is all about. 

73 de AL0Y.
