1) Dream on. You can't expect every NC to know the ins and out of every
mailer and the workarounds for them.

2) Highest *C taking responsibility? Well it seems this is exactly what
happened. The highest *C in FidoNet discourages the use of 000- numbers in
general and banned the use in his own zone. What more do you want as far as
taking responsibility goes?
