FN_SYSOP has always been for fidonet system operators only... ever since it was
first created... that's the reason why it has its name in the first place... if
someone is a fidonet nodelisted sysop, they can have access... if they drop
their nodelisting, the access should be removed... if they never were a fidonet
nodelisted sysop, they should never be able to read or write in the echo... all
this regardless of what some twunts are trying to say today...

If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until
you hire an amateur.
