Yep. I definitely agree with that. All my nodes in Net135 I have direct connects
with, a majority of them feed directly off me, too, because I run a pretty solid
setup. But, as it is, I make sure all of my connections do indeed at /least/
setup a session specifically for at least Netmail feed from the HUB, and uses
that for routing netmail. Beyond that, they're free to pick up a feed for
echo/files from the HUB or whatever they wish from then on. I've been helping
where needed in new setups to make that happen.
