Carol,

I remember Janis shipping you a very expensive type of HD at one point when you
needed it. It's sad some folks can't remember the good too. It was a H right? Maybe a raid array? Something like 15 years ago.

Actually, it was Bob Seaborn who shipped me a USR Everything modem and in response I shipped him a case of Belgian Trappist ales.

Janis and I, away from the spotlights, worked well together. As our nodelist was produced 6hrs ahead of the Z1-one, whenever there was an issue in the ZONE1-segment (and that happened a couple of times) I just called her voice PSTN and we repaired it while chatting. After a major crash here she was als instrumental in getting me going again. There's a lot more and I went to vis her ... nice person away from the keyboard. We planned to meet again but the she got sick and it went fast ... at the end we were in touch daily.

I agree, no power, just responsibilities.

And khrap dropped on your head while trying to do a good thing.

Ah, so it was Bob. Ok! Either way, none of us have ever been like others think. After a point, you see past all the politics and how silly it all is. Sadly some here recently want to restart of it.

Alex,

I agree, but all it takes is an effort to find a development team. No on has ever inquired about it, this is how the degradation started.

You want new exciting things to be produced?

Write them yourself, distribute them, see if people like it in which case it will be used. That's the only way how change works.

Understood. My criticism of his ZC duties implies: total ignorance, not taking excommunication cases seriously, him asking to pay him a salary and much more. Reasonable?

I'm not the first ZC who stated you wanted him to do a job, that he ought to paid. You probably missed that.

Bizarre is when he allows nodelist entries like this, when Crimea belong to Ukraine: Pvt,16,Aelita_Station,Simferopol_Russia,Vlad_Shvedovich,-Unpublished-,30

I think the RCs of R45 R46 and R50 plus myself have placed ourselves above t conflict in Ukraine. Once it gets resolved, and eventually it will, these RC will take care of the nodelist if there is a need for it.

We're not going to have a war imported here ... it happened previously and I appreciate it not to happen anymore. We are sysops united by a hobby.

\%/@rd

Yes. What is missing is each zone has always had ways that worked well for them. There is no reason why they have to be the exact same.

EX: When I moved the last of Z6 to Z3, it was not to a geographically 'closest area' but with the agreement of Z3c, to the one that had proven the most widely connectable to the nodes moving. That was the most southerly part of Z3.

Zones often work more about 'connectable' than geography if the 2 come
in conflict.

Thanks Greg! On the 16th I have the review. Then, cataract surgery soon on the left eye. Interacting with the BBS has been increasingly hard over the past 2 years. Sorry for my absence. It's really hard to read the BBS.
