irrelevent... has nothing to do with competence...

but we'll play along for the moment... how long are these lines of code? do
comments count? do BAT or shell scripts for BBS control count?

 AV> 2. If someone would ask you to help with setting up a Fidonet node,

also irrelevent... has nothing to do with competence...

but we'll play along again... i would first start by not recommending
anything... they should already have an idea what they want based on what
they've seen and what inspired them to want to be a node... then we proceed
based on the more educated questions then present...

 AV> 3. Which regular expression would you use to select independent nodes
 AV> and all their points from a text file containing FTN addresses?

and again, irrelevent... has nothing to do with competence...

devil's advocate: what's a regular expression and why do i want to use one?
