Why does a technical "how-to" document need to be "signed"? We're not talking
about the fucked up US political system here, just a bunch of stand-alone
computers communicating with each other.

What is this fixation you have with signing a how-to document?

As for interpretation, how have you interpreted "Obtain a copy of the
nodelist"?

Have you "obtained a copy of the nodelist"?

It has no monetary value - it is just a bunch of "how-tos"

I do not worship it. I followed it's advice and obtained a nodelist - end of
story. Policy 4 has very little to do with my online presence today.

That may be but I DO have a node number.

Do you have any plan for actually getting nodelisted yourself?
