 WD>> The FTSC want to promote something and the *C chain is blocking
 WD>> instead of enforcing it.

 MvdV>> Or the other way around. The *Cs could promote something that
 MvdV>> is a bad idea from the technical POV.  Such as all zero
 MvdV>> telephone numbers.

 ml> again... the all zero numbers can be filtered on the local system much
 ml> easier then the other methods that have been proposed over the
 ml> years...

 MvdV> If anyone should know that people do not like - sometimes bluntly
 MvdV> refuse - to use local conversion utilities, it is you.

especially not when their use is attempted to be mandated... everyone has this
feeling... just like others would for going the way i was proposing :?

 MvdV> I wrote and published a conversion utility for those who needed
 MvdV> IP connect info in the telephone number field. You rejected it...

i never rejected it, michiel... what i rejected was the mandate that it be used
on systems where it didn't need to be... much the same way that i was fully
against the ^ASPLIT proposal because it put the task on every system =except=
those that needed it :?

but no one saw that or would even acknowledge that because of their own agendas
:?

 ml> if the original use of 000- numbers had gone ahead and been allowed

 MvdV> If, if, if bimblebif...

same right backatcha :(

 MvdV> All zero telephone numbers are a technical monstruousity. It is a
 MvdV> political solution to a political problem and it should never
 MvdV> have been promoted by an FTSC member.

bullshit... it was a technical solution that embraced a future of enhanced
technical capabilities for fidonet and the majority of the software used... but
there's that agenda, again :? :(

 MvdV> Conflicts of interests need not be recognised as such by all
 MvdV> parties involved to be a problem. The person with the dual hat
 MvdV> may not see it, but if others perceive it as a problem, it *is* a
 MvdV> problem.

i didn't have a dual hat and you along with others fought tooth and nail
against it... you still are and i'm the only one left out of those who
originally saw its usefulness... all the others have left with their middle
fingers in the air waving then at you and the others with their agendas who
have progressivly shut them and their ideas out :( :?
