no spin... not even trying or wanting to...

1. the binkleyterm documentation is *NOT* the standards document...

2. if i am a member of zones 1 (fidonet) and 42 (fubarnet), then going
   by the above single line taken out of context, the domain for z42
   (fubarnet) is my domain as well as the one for zone 1 (fidonet)...
   thus the outbound for z42 (fubnarnet) would *NOT* have the extension
   (.02a) added...

thanks for playing!
