How to Remove Traffic from a BBS
Prior to removing NTS traffic from a BBS there are several things you
should consider.  Is the traffic for your area? Is the addressee best
served if the traffic is removed at this location? If left, will the
traffic continue to be forwarded by the Packet Network? If the traffic is
destined for another location, just leave it alone, but keep an eye on it
to make sure that it moves.  Traffic listed on a Virginia BBS by Zip Code
will automatically be forwarded to its destination.
If you decide to remove the traffic, here is how you should proceed.
     1.Issue the LT command to the BBS and check all Traffic on the board.  
If there is anything there it will be listed.
Look at the status codes it will be either TF, T$, TN, or TY.
TF means that the message has been forwarded to another bulletin board.
T$ means that the messsage it waiting to be forwarded to another PBBS
   or, if the zip is 080* thru 086*, then it is waiting for someone 
   to claim it for delivery.
TN also means that the message is waiting to be taken for delivery.
TY means that someone has read the message but did not kill it.

IGNORE all TF messages. They do not need your help in moving along.

     2.Turn on your printer and direct the copy to it, or save it to
disk. This is important so that you will have a copy of the message to view
when you relay or deliver the traffic.
     3.Issue the (R)ead command, followed by the BBS assigned message
number of the traffic you want to take.  Check your printer or disk copy to
be sure you have it saved.
     4.Once you have taken (Read) the message and verified your copy,
then issue the (K)ill  command,  followed by the BBS message
number of the traffic you took, to kill the traffic.  You MUST use the BBS
assigned message number to kill the traffic.  Do not confuse the BBS
message number with the message number in the preamble of the message.
     5.Relay or deliver the traffic.  This is a good time to send a
message back to the originating operator telling him when, where, and by
whom the message was delivered.
