Hello Carol,

On Tuesday March 25 2008 22:25, you wrote to me:

For the regular distribution: probably none. When all they have to do is flip
that bit, I'd say they are "ready" wouldn you?

Ward has a lot more to do then just flio that bit, hence we are wating for him.

That is politics. Has nothing to do with technicakl standards.

The only official IC approved regional policy I know of the R24REGPOL
http://www.vlist.eu/downloads/policys/regp100.024

There may have been more.

That does not mean that I can not have a problem with zones going there own way
and arbitraily give their own meaning to documented standards.

As I said, FidoNet is a global network. Local technical standards are
detrimental to connectivity and therefore bad juju.

 CS> Deal with it.

Why do you want to be a part of the FTSC team if you do bot want to uphold its
standards?

I am not dictating anything. I am just pointing out that one can expect from a
loyal member of the team to set the good example and adhere to documeted
standards.

Then maybe you are caught in a situation where you try to serve two masters
that want different things form you?


Cheers, Michiel
