Of course...you're a big target; around.

One must wonder about that claim.

A quick scan of the zone shows at least 9 /0 nodes.

That's debatable. IMNSHO, I think you'd like to see no zones and only one
Nodelist Clerk; yourself. Fidonet can and will die without you jerking it
off.

One must wonder about such, as 23.21.54.139 is in a block of numbers
belonging to Amazon.com, based in Seattle, Washington.

Meanwhile, a tracert from here (pings and binkd door knocking are old
school) stops at 216.182.232.55, also in a block of numbers belonging to
Amazon.

Name by IP address resolves to: ec2-23-21-54-139.compute-1.amazonaws.com.

So, there could be a broken link between New York and Brazil for all we
know. Or perhaps, Amazon's block of IPs is 'blocked' for some reason.
