    No, I did not say that. I took you example number, which is in zone 3.
But since you so desperately want me to cross your dots and tee your eyes,
I'll expand my statement:

    Any FTN address from zone 1..9 that has no domain specified must be
assumed to be a FidoNet address.

    As you see, I'm anticipating on an expansion FidoNet; it is quite
probable that we'll have a zone 7 some time next year.
