FV> Drop the "consisting of thousands of nodes". It designates a number.
FV> What happens /IF/ Fidonet drops to 999 Nodes? Don't say that it can't
FV> happen or that Fidonet will die before then. Remember, Fidonet started
FV> with only a "few" Nodes passing mail... and as long as there are two
FV> Nodes in two different places, it is still a "global network". :-)

To me, it's a matter of viability and vitality.  See my last post to
Steven on this...  :)
