A new Point probably wouldn't but some of us would because it has been
custom and practice in the past for policy changes to be announced in the
nodelist.

Fair comment.

That's probably the best way to do it.

Yep :-)

Perhaps it had something to do with area seperators ?

Yes, it does.

Not particularly.

My thoughts were that as GoldED+ supports FidoConfig, why not use it ;-)
