     I think so, but that's just my opinion.

     But domains never really took off in FidoNet, and much of the software
out there is still only 4d aware.  So having a semi-unique zone number
isn't exactly a "vanity net number" IMHO, as it's actually used
to keep traffic from different networks separate.
