Hi Jan,

 cc>> Nodes which have multiple contact addresses simply have multiple
 cc>> listings, same as multi-node BBSs had before, and for pretty much
 cc>> the same reasons.

 JV>     Sending direct mail in reply to a message can become
 JV> cumbersome if you write from your email only address and

Right. Pity so few people seem to understand that.

 JV>     How will this help me: I have a PSTN, ISDN and ADSL. I
 JV> can use the phone field either for the PSTN and ISDN number
 JV> as they are the same, or for the ADSL ip number. I want no
 JV> second node number if I can avoid it, not because I do not
 JV> like braids on my jacket, but because I think it is bad
 JV> service for those who want to contact me.

 JV>     After all that is what a node number is for: help them
 JV> contact you.


Right. A pity so few people seem to  understand that.

Regards, Michiel
