***    This may be the LAST update. There are many reasons as ***
***    to why this may need to be the case - none of which are***
***    due to the prior cases of people not using this tool.  ***
***    I will monitor things for the next few weeks an make a ***
***    final decision then                                    ***
***                                                           ***
***    1. ACARS appears to be being replaced by SBS as the    ***
***    main tool for providing tie-ups                        ***
***                                                           ***
***    2. As a result the numbers of ACARS contributers has   ***
***    fallen off, especially in the more distant parts -     ***
***    there used to be somewhat regular ACARS reports from   ***
***    South America, South Africa, Japan and Bangkok - all   ***
***    now gone removing the global part of the lists.        ***
***                                                           ***
***    3. What reports are left are taking a lot more time to ***
***    process due to the fact that a lot of them are using   ***
***    ACARSD as the logging software - it is a terrific piece***
***    of software, but the (ab)use of the correction tool is ***
***    creating the false notification of new ACARS ids for   ***
***    things like Bizjets, the entire Air Canada Jazz fleet, ***
***    some Finnair a/c and others that have legitimate ACARS ***
***    ids with NO DASH. OHLBX is a valid ACARS id. OH-LBX is ***
***    not. Thus the tracking down of the less obvious ones   ***
***    is a drain on resources and time.                      ***
***                                                           ***
