Hello Nick,

NA>>> Again - Go get yourself a node number and do something about it.
HD>> Why should (s)he do that?

NA> Being listed in the nodelist at least establishes basic Fido competence.

Not necessarrily. I know Points in the past, and even today, who know better
how FidoNet works in all its merits, than many SysOp's and even RC's did/do.
So being NodeListed is not any garantee ;-(.

Look at the list Kees van Eeten is showing about systems long time
inconnectable for very long periods, even years.
So removing a long time rotten dead wood is much more important,
than giving frequent writers a Nodenumber and get listed.

Henri.
