*** Quoting Roy Witt from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***


 CS> Roy, there is much more to it than that.

RW> Nahhh. It's simple, just right the message and send it off.

If you seriously would like to learn about what is involved, I do not mind
¨explaining it, but if you do not want to learn, there's little point in
typing ¨in that information.

Meantime, it's all on hold for a bit while we wait to see what lawrence is
up ¨to.  I did however on request, send over 'Z6 as a net' to Z3 on request
with ¨the understanding that Quinn doesnt have answers yet on what Z3 wants
to do.  ¨I'll have to do a little research though to see if it matched
their style ¨(noted that to Quinn at the time) as have one static IP in a
phone area which ¨they may want to have shifted.

RW> I think 1:1/23 is available.

Why would I do that?  Besides, it doesnt solve anything at all.  I'm NOT
alone ¨out here even if the others are nominal and have an obligation to
make sure all ¨the others are ok.

 CS> moving over with me will get (hopefully) at least 2 weeks to adapt
 CS> before we drop Z6 or reduce it to a placeholder segment.

RW> Or they could join up with Zone 7...

Thats about as stupid as it can get.

 CS> Oh I can easily get a nodenumber elsewhere just for myself.  No one
 CS> would be hard put on if I cropped up in 1:140 net and the funny thing
 CS> is I often look like a local dial from his end due to the
 CS> shennanigans of DSN witchery.  Since my legal residence is in
 CS> Virginia Beach, we almost didnt move me at all to a Z6 listing in
 CS> those early days and 1:275 would be 'legal with precidents for
 CS> Military who move about alot but own a home there and plan to
 CS> return'.

RW> Where is that in P4? ;o)

Precident.  It's been done many a time in Z1, to preserve nodelisting in a
net ¨when a military person took a temporary transfer yet owned a home. 
Not even a ¨blip from the P4 fanatics.  Richard Peer even mentioned it long
ago when I was ¨shifting to a Z6 nodenumber, as a valid option.


 CS> Ward too said he'd add me in if I needed it being a bit of
 CS> a special case and Russell I am sure would be happy to have me.
 CS> Renato's probably the only one who'd feel funny about it if I tried
 CS> to get him to list me ;-)
RW> List you? Oh, I thought you were talking about them *wanting* you...so
RW> :o)

Grin, I dont think he'd mind at all.  He's said so a few times.

See Roy, your situation and mine are radically different.  I tend to make
¨friends wherever I go and getting listed someplace if I were in trouble
¨withthat and needed help, would be very very easy.  In fact, for an
additional ¨10$ a month, I can get a VOIP number that is inbound dialable
to anyplace in ¨the USA or Canada and you'd be hardput to use P4 to say I
couldnt list in a ¨spot where I had a 'local dial POTS number'.
