Then what is your point?

Arguable. The one falling down has a better chance of survival than the one
he falls on top of.

Anyway, this leads nowehere. There is this museum and they ride some of
their trains. Those are the facts. Your opinion about them taking
iresponsible risks does not change the fact.

 MV>>>> Why not? What stopped you guys in R50 from routing mail to and

 AS>>> Nodelist.

 AS> I feel you have not a smallest imagination how routing works here.

If you are unable to route to alternets, I'd say you are the ones lacking
the ideas. Routing to alternets was standard procedue here.

Then go work on it so that it does....

 AS> But, OK, will you lobby that my node was set as a Z7 zonegate in

No. You are the one who wants it. I have already done enoygh by giving yo
the idea, You do the rest of the work. ;-)

 AS>>>  And what about the rest of Fido ? I mean Z1-Z6. I'm interested

 MV>> Well, get somene to zonegate there as well... An easier way of

 AS> No it is not. The easiest way is to stay in {at}fidonet.

You already are in Z2. Staying there is the easiest to get routed mail to
and from you from the rest of FidoNet.

 AS>>>>>  If mail was routed, I'd left Z2 and joined Z7.

And sometimes little boys, just for their fun and selfimportance, want
cakes that they can have and eat as well, thereby making it very dificult
for the rest of the world to work with them.
