>LL>Thom LaCosta's private elisting has no official status in Fidonet.
>LL>Janis Kracht (former Zone 1 Coordinator) told me that.

RW>ONly correction I'll make to that is that Janis is not
RW>"former" z1 coordinator, but is still z1 coordinator.

 LL> Only in her own mind.

 LL> Like members of a U.S. president's cabinet, each zone coordinator
 LL> serves only until a new international coordinator is elected.  

there is no international coordinator and likely will not be one... the ZCC
takes care of the main job that the IC had...

 LL> The newly elected international coordinator might choose not to 
 LL> appoint any zone coordinators, allowing those positions to remain 
 LL> unfilled.

can't/won't happen... they would be lynched toot sweet and no one would pay
any attention to them...

[trim]

RW>sysops will use it to determine the rightful moderator of
RW>an echo for purposes of deciding to honor an access cut.

 LL> I can do the same, creating my own private elisting.
 LL> In fact, I already have.  And that makes me the official
 LL> owner/moderator/whateveryouwanttocallit of every echo
 LL> in fidonet.  :)

that is why thom's list is the one that the backbones recognise and no
others... this explains why your list is ignored like others ;)
