[App_rpt-users] Response to the AllStarLink Board of Directors message from 29 December 2020

[ARS W5OMR]

So far as I can tell, my node is stil operational, and I'm not changing
anything.  I can connect to another node, and I just checked the pttlink
thing, and see a grand total of... 32 nodes?
I'm kinda happy with the status quo, and didn't/don't see a need for
change.  I did see that my info is listed at pttlink, but they say they've
not seen my node since the 30th of December, last year.  That was 3 days
ago.  I'm good with them not ever seeing me on that site.
~shrug~
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
