 NB>> Most folks in Z1 either aren't around, don't post in Fidonet, 

 ML> how are they in Z1 if they do not participate in fidonet?

I'm pointing out the fact that 1/3 of the nodelist is inactive participants.
Did you not get the memo?

 NB>> or don't care to get involved with some of the ridiculous games 
 NB>> that are played here. 

 ML> then why are you stirring up the shit in the barrel after it has all
 ML> settled down??

I didn't, nor do I ever want to stir the shit. It wasn't started from here.
When it got here, then I'm at fault for enflaming it.

 ML> no... you can't count the percentage based on the number of people... out

The DNS problems I can agree with. But after they came up, I was attacked by
our Z1C while trying to discuss nodelist entries. You apparantly missed the
topic I was supporting from the get-go, and sided with Janis from the start. :(

 ML> since he apparently carries the full feed, he's probably reading all of
 ML> this anyway... i'm extremely surprised that he has the restraint that he
 ML> does because if i were him, i'd have blown this place all to hell with the
 ML>  speculation and crap and really shoved some folks back in their places
 ML> where they belong... but that's me and not him...

You know what? That would probably be fucking AWESOME if he replied here. It
woudl shut all of us up (or me, anyways). I would love for him to show up and
tell people off here. Maybe he has no idea what is actually going on?

 NB>> I have seen it for myself. I tried connecting to both his BBS and
 NB>> his mailer a few times now (not one after the other, but at random
 NB>> times)

 ML> hunh?? bbs and mailer? the nodelist only lists mailers... where'd you find
 ML> info on connecting to his bbs?

I've seen random posts over the years in ads echos (yeah, I still look at
those, and call some randomly -- for those of you who don't, you're killing our
trade here). So I tried he MOMIA BBS. I go a little further than the nodelist
implies, as I'm sure you do. You're just causing another reason for argument
here.

 ML> while i tend to agree, i can easily see extenuating circumstances and have

 ML> their "i'm right" games... paul's theory should have been thought of
 ML> before by those stirring up all the shit but it didn't fit their agenda so
 ML> they refused to look in that direction... i've pointed out over and over
 ML> and over how we, as a network, are subject to the whims of the internet
 ML> that so many have chosen to use for their main transport mechanism... i've
 ML> been shouted down about that, too... until it came back and slapped them
 ML> square in their faces...

You, should have been on of the first to see Paul's response. Yet you still
argue. 

Actually, the only reason we're still talking about this right now is because
you came into the conversation to say your piece. Janis had already netmailed
me, and we're done talking about it. Now all of a sudden I'm in an argument wit
you, which was unnecessary. FIGHT-O-NET+1

Nick
