Most of those nodes are in use today. Accept for 1:267/200 of which was the
node of the former hub, after a while I dropped the the use of that node and
created 1:267/800 which is the new mail hub. 1:267/1 is use by a another
individual. 1:267/150 has remained in place for the past 24 years.

Did you ever hear the story of how I acquired the NC 'hat' here in NY?
It's quite the tale, that speaks of conquest and victory.

Since I have been at the helm as NC there have not been any point systems!

Over the past year or so there have been several new nodes within the 
Empire_Net, each of them are provided their own node, there are no points
that exist here in that are under the Empire_Net.

I think it those days it might of been referred to as the Adirondack_Net. 
I have nodes close to Buffalo to New York City and in the immediate Capital
Region of which is known as the (Albany area)
