Ärende: Nodelist Distribution
=============================
Hello Bob,

 MB>>>>> Nodelist distribution needs to be replaced or improved.

 BF>>>> For your Z1 that seems to be true. No...?

 JD>>>> The methods we use are the same as the methods you use, so if it
 JD>>>> needs improvement here, then ditto over there, or any place else.

 RN>>> Why is someone always trying to reinvent the wheel?

 JD>>> I dont know.  I'm not even sure how else you could distribute
 JD>>> the nodelist. I think though, that it is more  case of trying to
 JD>>> automate the joining of Fidonet.  I'm not sure I agree with that
 JD>>> though.  At least not until they are directed to the proper region.

 >> The proper region is whatever region one wants to join.

 BA> That wasn't true several years ago.  I had a system set up under Dale Ross
 BA> in NC, and the powers that were at the time decided that was illegal and
 BA> ran Dale out of Fidonet

Dale Ross and his powers can "fuck off" for all I care.
None of them have any legitimate authority to tell me what
I can or cannot do with my own system.

This is not a nanny state.  And I have no need of a nanny.
If you want others to decide what is best for you, that is
your own choice to make.

Sysops and non-sysops have the right to self-determination.
Nobody other than the individuals themselves have that right.

The Z1C and a handful of other sysops will tell you otherwise,
pointing to P4.  However, do note that I am under no obligation
to adhere to any part of P4.  And do note that nobody else is,
either.  In other words, P4 is just an excuse that certain
"powers that be" want to use as a means of control.  Well, I'm
not buying.  And neither is the rest of the Fidoworld.
