Hello Ross,

I think she is. /If/ each zone would only use their own nodelist segment
and those segments would not be distributed outside the zone and interzone
mail would only go through the official zone gates, you would have a point.
What is in the Z6 segment would not affect me.

But that is not the case. The segments are distributed world wide, every
Fidonet member uses the full nodelist (as per policy) and so every Fidonet
sysop is affected.

The nodelist is a team effort of the nodelist clerks and Carol is part of
that team. O, yes she definitely is my servant too.

If there is garbage in the nodelist it affects every one who makes use of
it. That includes me and so it is my business too.


Cheers, Michiel
