Not everyone knows everything.  I for sure do not.  The problems your
nodelist ¨entry has doesnt affect you directly, but can affect others
outside your zone ¨or within it.

People generally trap out 000- numbers but they may not catch 1-000
numbers. ¨The country code needs to GO.  Generally when some of the
argumentative Z2 ¨sysops (or Z3) complain about 000- entries they really do
not have proper ¨blocking or are afraid somehow.  Most such entries are not
actually dangerous.  ¨Yours actually is possibly dangerous in that it can
lead to someone outside the ¨USA (or within it) trying to dial you.  1-000-
isnt blocked by many.  They ¨wouldnt think to add it to their block set.

Look, anyone who knows me knows I'm not a nodelist 'copper' but this one
¨catches even me.
