Ärende: Fidonet Node Number zone 1
==================================
Hello Gary,

 JK>> It would be good to have you back in fidonet, Rudi :)

 US>> but there is no problem to get him a zone1 point number ,-)

 LL>> Of course there is no problem.  Not for Janis.  After all,
 LL>> it is up to her to decide if an individual is worthy to receive
 LL>> a noze 1 node or point number.  Those she (or her underlings) deems
 LL>> unworthy will never receive, much less be allowed to keep, a zone 1
 LL>> node or point number.

GP>If I'm not mistaken, the only nodes Janis directly considers are
GP>people located outside Zone 1 geography, and those are only approved
GP>under very limited conditions.

You forget, dear child, the Ice Queen has underlings.  As such,
she does not have to do any of the dirty work.  If an individual
wishes to obtain a node within zone 1, and the Ice Queen does not
want that individual to succeed in getting such a node, all she
has to do is snap her fingers and one of her underlings will
come to her rescue.  See how that works?

GP>As for Policy 4,

The Ice Queen and her underlings ignore P4, as they have for years.
As such, why should you, or anybody else, pay any attention to that
worthless document?

GP>that document was written under very different times.

The contents of the document do not matter.  The time period
it was written does not matter.  The Ice Queen and her underlings
ignore it, as they have for years.

GP>Many of us have expressed a desire to see the document updated to
GP>reflect current issues.  Hopefully the nodes can come together one
GP>day to approve an updated document and incorporate newer operator
GP>rules to reflect current practices.

IT IS NOT THE DOCUMENT THAT MATTERS!

IT IS THE ICE QUEEN AND HER UNDERLINGS WHO ARE CAUSING
THE BREAKDOWN OF FIDONET!

WHO IS GOING TO HOLD THE ICE QUEEN AND HER UNDERLINGS RESPONSIBLE
AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS?

GP>As it stands, P4 is quickly becoming like the old US Articles of
GP>Confederation: so rigid as to nearly impede administration, missing
GP>much needed clarifications, and in this case very outdated.

That may be.  However, rewriting P4 or writing and ratifying a brand
new policy document, will not solve the problem.

As long as the American people continue to believe in the US
Constitution, this country will continue to exist.

Only a very small number of sysops continue to believe in P4,
the rest having left the community that once was.  Why?  Because
your beloved Ice Queen (and her underlings) sabatoged the fidonet
community by doing things their own way, rather than what sysops
around the world had called for through P4 (and echopol1).

Have a great day.
