I agree. Given the size of Fidonet, minus the administrative overhead,
minus the zombie echoes with no posts kept alive by moderators, and
minus the autopilot nodes, Fidonet would be a different place.

In the US, you could theoretically remove nets altogether and still
have a managaeable regional structure. There may be country-specific
complications in Z2 I'm not aware of.
