Actually, it is the way it has been misread the past several years that is the
problem.  Yes, at one time there may have been
a problem with some crooked *C's who abuse their positions in a day when node
were stuck at their mercy due to existing conditions at that time (my net fell
victim to that at one time, as FidoNet was going through changes) and the
dependancy of the nodes upon their local structure in order to operate.

Those days are gone though, as to the ability for the *C's to operate in that
manner.

In the past, rather than utilize the checks and balances in place, the mistake
was made of bastardizing everything defined in the nodelist, and now we have a
FidoNet full of misinterpretations by the membership, and a bunch of lazy folk
who are supposed to be in the position to effect proper operations but are just
happy to leave them as they are, despite the fact that it has been, and
continues to, riip FidoNet apart at the seems.

I'd rather hold until after x-mas, but your impressions are quite in error.
