Mace,

Given your current use of data, you would save network bandwidth by turning
off you IDD requests for data from your upstream source(s).  This, of
course, is up to you.  Stopping the requests for data that you do not
use will in no way hinder you from getting those data in the future.

>And yes, I will be the Unidata source for the department.

OK.

>Hope this clears things up!  : )

Yup.  Thanks again.
