   As you may have seen in my retraction comment later, I agree.

   Yes, I once again agree. And here is the big problem when maintaining the
glue that keeps Fidonet together -- the nodelist -- we do not have that.

   It's the ZCs that ignores RCs that does not perform properly, and
subsequently their NCs that does not perform properly, that is the problem that
we have struggled with for decades now.
