   On the contrary, I would dare say.

   I've been NC2:203 since 1991 if memory serves me right (the longest lasting
coordinator in fidonet perhaps?) and for more than a decade I've been RC20.

   According to P4 I've been "completely responsible for the smooth operation
of the network" 2:203 and later on ditto for the region 2:20.

   I'd like to claim that long lasting, well performing coordinators can be
very valuable to the FTSC. More so than any leaf node sysop. After all, this is
why the ZCs have a standing invitation to take part of the FTSC work.

   It may be OK to be able to write FTN programs, but more importantly IMHO is
the ability to oversee the "smooth operation" of our beloved Fidonet.
