No they don't. Only in Ward's eyes do they have a majority. AFAIK, Z2
doesn't have any more of a vote than the other 5 Zones...

No, it creates another network, but they can't call if Fidonet. Unless
they want to go head to head with the registered person who has a claim to
the Fidonet name. I'm told that he may defend it to the death if Z2 goes
on it's own. Then again, he may just give it up as a lost cause.

No moreso than the other 5 ZCs in Fidonet. If you give into that BS about
having 90% of Fidonet in their Zone, then you've already lost the
arguement.
