Right. So poof goes your argument for a zone of your own. Region or net
specific hours can be introduced without splitting the zone.

Maybe that is because you never properly proposed it. How come I have never
seen something from your RC in ENET.SYSOP or REGCON.EUR about this. Or
perhaps your RC does not support the idea? That would explain a lot.

Bad argument. Tat flag is for support of *additional* ZMH. It does not
absolve the node in question from supporting his own ZMH. This flag was
meant for gateways, never for end nodes. Use by end nodes is silly as it
only imposes unneeded resterictions. Whn one flies this flag one must
observe ALL requirements fot that extra ZMH: i.e. no users, no echomial,
etc etc.

The sensible way to specify extra on-line hours is by the Tyz flags. That
awy one does not jave to exclude users and echomail traffic during that
time.

Authorised?! By whom? The KGB?

You can all do that without your own zone. It has been done by others before.

 VD> I only have designated problems and now them I will not discuss.

If you keep it a secret you cabn not expect others to go along with it.

 VD> You have not information.

Indeed, I have no information leading to the POV that he support your POV.
Is ee that you are not claiming to have his support.

 MV>> Even zo, you can't get *one* other RC to support your case? Not

 VD> R46C, may be. R40C also may be. And R50C - summary 3 votes :-( .

So maybe you rcase is not all that string. If your ideas were *good* one
would expect more support.
