following up a message from Dale Shipp to Thom Lacosta:

 TL> I believe part of the problem may be that at one time there 
 TL> was a requirement that a moderator be a nodelisted person.  

DS>    If so, then that was before my time (1995 or so).  I was a
DS> moderator    before I was assigned a node number.  The person who
DS> was moderator    before me never was a sysop or a point.

About the same time I joined fidonet as a point.
I recall more than one moderator that wasn't nodelisted.

 TL> The premise was that he/she could be reached via netmail.

DS>    That was important.  And probably still is -- or reached by other
DS>    well publicized means.
MOst of these moderators who weren't listed had netmail access on the
boards they used however.
