well, guess what, buddy... that is the organization that was carrying that
issue of the snooze to a great many members of fidonet... it is that hat that
janis was wearing when she wrote her message and removed that file from the
IFDC distribution chain...

 WD> It was done from a Fidonet-nodenumber and exported to a major
 WD> Fidonet-distributor. 

so what... this same type stuff used to come up WRT certain echos back in the
days of the backbone wars... there were even filebone "wars" but nothing as
intense as those between the backbones... now there is only one filebone and
that is the IFDC distribution system...

 WD> She knew 100% what she was doing and it was done on purpose.

of course and there was a specific reason stated... that reason being the
copyright mess that has been going on with mvdv's stuff... that and no one
being an international copyright lawyer lead many to be very cautious...
especially groups of folk working together as the IFDC group does which is the
very same that the various backbone groups also did...

this has nothing to do with the zone or zonal ego... and you are linked into
the IFDC somehow... either directly or you get a filefeed from one that is...
and that brings us right back to some of the stuff brought out in the backbone
wars... how to tell which areas are carried by the 'bone and which are not...
back in those days, it was determined that those areas listed in the backbone
areas list were those considered to "be on the backbone"... other areas, even
though they were also available from the same system, were listed in another
file and were not considered to be "on the backbone"... there is a difference
and one that may be subtle enough that some, possibly such as yourself, just
don't see it, refuse to see it, or are simply to wound up in their own agenda
to even think about it since it is quite counter to their agenda...
