fv> On a political format, I agree. My "fear" for Fidonet is that as we
fv> move further into the Internet world, we become more "the Internet"
fv> and less "Fidonet". Using the Internet DNS as a "Nodelist" for Fidonet
fv> is another step in this direction.
Locking FidoNet to a certain "physical" network is in my opinion a bad thing.
That's why a new nodelist format would be to prefer. To make FidoNet compatible
with the future.a
fv> I think we are all dreamers in Fidonet. Fidonet started, if you will,
fv> as a "dream" of "can this be done". It's still being done when many
fv> have said it should be dead and gone. :-)
