        Some of the IP/POTS mailers out there, Argus, Etc. allow the user
to add a nodelist override entry which effectively adds a node that isn't
in the current nodelist. Used properly this can be helpfull for a particular
connection situation.


        I could conceivably add myself with a node number of my own choosing
and pick either an uncaring feed or one that allows unlisted connections and
agrees to feed me and I would be all set.
