I just posted a brief "how I got here" story.
But I guess a part of what you said could be true. If I had
landed on a JamNNTP provider in Zone 1 the first time, then
*maybe* I would have ended up with a point in my own domestic
zone.
I don't see Zone 1 sysops eager to encourage point users.
The Z2 Pointlist is an amazing project. It speaks to the
openess and practicality of operating as a point when that is
a better option for a user.
