I disagree.  There is a grey area there that everybody is ignoring.  If you
use the internet for tranfering mail, then you are including the internet
as part of fidonet.

If you do not wish to be bound by policy when using the internet then
perhaps you should use POTS?

I think that anyone using the internet in this fashion should expect to
also abide by policy while using the internet between fidonet members or
relating to fidonet members.

There is room for understanding that shared technologies are being used and
there should be some overlap involved with policy.

If that were not true, then you could do nothing if you annoyed me in
FidoNet and I got revenge using the Internet.  You would have no recourse
within FidoNet.  Good luck trying outside of fidonet.

It was expected when one used POTS to tranfer mail, why not when using IP
to transfer mail?
