Same old argument, same old response...

Then what's the MO flag all about?  Mail only, no BBS... it is to indicate
that no BBS is present, or there would be no other need for that flag and
it wouldn;t be there.  It's existance does indicate that the nodelist has a
purpose in identifying wether a node has a BBS associated with it or not,
and since FidoNet was primarily a BBS network the flag is there as a -not-
indicator rather than having an indicator that there -is- a BBS by assuming
that nearly every node -did- have a BBS unless otherwise specified.

Your argument against using the nodelist as finder of FidoNet BBS's is negated.
