You mean it became a network for dumb-asses who played stupid power games? The
P4 was always used as an excuse for the bullshit they were doing. Maybe Tom
Jennings ideas were not that odd at all. What would happen if we dumped P4 and
got rid of the *Cs?

Are there any documents of the policies before 4.07? I joined Fidonet in 1993.
At that time P4 was already in place.
