PE1RRR -Red has an aggressive cancer and wanted the linked data community to expect systems he's maintained to be shutting down. Forward is below for anyone this concerns.

The liver tumors have explosively grown, to the point where the liver is no longer metabolizing anything, and that includes pain medication, such as morphine, fentanyl, dexa and all the other possible. Withou the pain management its literally collapse to the floor with involuntary screaming. Its at this point where I have to ask those that are linked to my nodes and BBS to make plans and add additional routes especially if you are using the linbpq_rtg package setup that has also had to have its node updated to yank out a potential route for pirates. Those that are linked for passing mail over AXIP need to find additional routes for fallback for when my node is switched off indefinitely. This is likely to occur in a few weeks depending on how slow the metabolism shuts off, weeks, a month but certainly not a year. 73 and keep the packets flowing Red / PE1RRR eindhoven.space / red-heat.com -------------------------------- ][ de N2QFD ][ ][ Queen City BBS ][ ][ queencitybbs.ddns.net:607 ][ --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 (Raspberry Pi/32) * Origin: Queen City BBS (21:1/154)
