WashingBalt echo node

>>>>>[Ahoy... As some of you may or may not know, dataflow through the Washington-Baltimore Metropolitan Axis (or "WashingBalt" as some of us affectionately call it) is run by me -- Commander Zippo, regional SysOp and daemon-slayer extraordinaire. My only egomaniacal statement now out of the way, I make the usual disclaimers about the contained data validity: (1) "Truth" is relative. (2) "Fact" is subject to pollution and mutation. (3) "Rumors" are a classified organism. That is all.]<<<<<
