[aprssig] How to digi 6x in the New APRS world?

[n2lbt at spamcop.net]

We still don't want to hear it. We needed it here in the Northeast,  
and you say you don't need it there. This conversation is a local  
matter between you and your local digipeater sysops. The APRS list  
does not control the New Mexico digipeaters.
