Passwording out a link without a previouse agreement ever regarded XAB here.
Explanaition is quite simple and transparent. Ability to prevent a connect
to your system turns ZMH to a piece of crap. Turning ZMH to a piece of crap
kills a fidonet spirit, turns it to a Pvt network, while it ever was public.

Last overruling is a revolt, it has nothing in common with FidoNet and with
Policy. It's something riduculous, politically based and I will not be
surprised in case Fidonet will ignore such ZCC and it rulings.

We've got in an exclusive cycle, and I'm afraid it happened long ago.
Yes, I'm against one-person ZCC, but I'm also against ZCC whoes deci-
sions kill the network.

The only way I see to proceed is to ignore it. ZCC logic must be changed.
If we think it's a superior body, then its content has to be propotional.
One person with 90% of votes is a bad idea, but several persons from a
zone which represent 90% of sysops seems good to me. It cannot serve as
a superior body until this disbalance adjusted.

Think out the idea of including at least R50C and R46C (the largrest
regions in the network) into this body. Until that ZCC is void.

Bye, Sinc, Alex
