> There were 454 cluster nodes active, and 2,932 users.

> Ain't no cluster node in the whole wide world that has

>
> He gets spots from a web source, like OH2BUA's Web

> when he gets the spot, he only gets:
>
> Date, Time, DX Call, Freq, Comment, Sender's Call
>
> The Web Clutter doesn't tell you what NODE the spot
> was sent from, so he has to insert HIS call into the
> NODE field (or leave it blank like some other idiot is
> doing).
>
> Why would anybody SUCK SPOTS ? Simple. Because their
> network is so weak they are worried about missing spots.
> They have to boost their traffic count by sucking spots
> from places their network doesn't connect to.
>
> Obviously, F5MZN and K1TTT SUCK.
>
> Some people still think MORE is BETTER. Even when it's way
> too much to digest.
>
> Note 69: 2,393 spots received with NO NODE in the originating
> node field. Sucked by somebody from somewhere, probably,
> or else somebody's cluster software is real broken.
