I threw the towel in the ring. I did not percieve it as having a choice. But if
you say so...

Yes, people not wanting to part with stone age software not really up to the
demands of present day Fidonet is a probem... :(

Here RC's are not elected. They are appointed by the ZC. A system where an
"elected" entitety appoints the one they are to elect or impeach him/her is
pretty stable...

 TR> Can things be improved? Sure, but will they, highly unlikely?

So... speaking about improving things, moving forward and encouraging the use
of new technology... How is your IPv6?
