Don't worry about it Robert, unless something happens very soon as far as
the FTSC goes, I won't be a part of it, nor "FTSC+" - the FTSC no
longer serves a purpose in FidoNet, that much has been clear for quite some
time. And as long as "politicians" carry more weight than
"technicians", it never will.

You on the other hand, would make a perfect chairman --- just don't forget
to tell people that nothing they do is safe from complete revision,
reinvention, or complaints from the almighty Robert Williamson before they
leave their shoes at the door.

OTOH, you now have enough of your butchered material to start your own
little committee, RTSC perhaps?
