Okay, it certainly seems that you meet the "qualification" of having
developed some FTN software. My biggest point in my question to Bjorn
was that most (all?) of the other candidates on his "wishlist" would
*NOT* meet that qualification, which seems silly in the first place.
Why would documenting standards and practices in FidoNet require
programming skills? This insistence on such a qualification seems to
come largely from.... you.
