Hi, Nick!

I am greatly surprised by the examples you have given.
Why don't these sysops, before disturbing the ZC, first contact the sysop of the node from which the Telegram messages enter the network, with the moderator of the echo conference, the message of which can be read in Telegram?
Is knowledge with the Policy not obligatory in zone 1 to obtain a node number?
Among other things, for some reason, such sysops are not embarrassed by the presence of a WEB BBS that provides open access to messages from Fido echo conferences to anyone who wants to, nor does it bother the indexing, storage and provision of free access to anyone who wants such messages by the servers Googl, Yandex and the like.
