OUCH!  Can you imagine the pain that would cause in Europe Z2?  Have you really
thought that through?

Lets go back to basic nodelist format.  There's a hard limit to the number of 2
digit assignments for RC's.  01-09 are not used (reserved for special needs)
and i think we top out generally with 10 per zone though Z2 has more than 10
assigned (perhaps reuse of other zones sets not otherwise needed).

Even at RC10-99, you cant get 100 nodes per region for your area without taking
away the rest of us out of our hobby.  You'd need 30-40 RC slots just for R50.

Yes, we all know you are bigger.  We aint dumb.

Now look from another angle.  I'm going to demize Z6 when i get back in port
come high summer.  Thats because even though having more voices on the ZCC is
important, I have reached the 'voice of one' level.  This is NOT to Ward's
benefit at all as I seem to generally agree with him, but it was a voice that
looked to more than just Z6 needs (as i hope all ZC's do).


I've already had to disabuse a few folks that this means Z6 is no longer
reserved for Fidonet use. To use it for R50 when I am here, means it will be a
scheduled reasonable shift not a splinter of all R50.  To use it after I am
gone, will be up to the ZCC.  The 'vote/referendum' showed me pretty clear
that R50 doesnt want to change as a group, just a small portion of it and not
suffienct support in R50 alone to cause the people there the problems that
*will* ensue.
