If you go through your Fidonews archives you will find two aticles of mine. Each proposing to drop one level of hierarchie. One to drop the Region level and another to drop the zone level.

I would not mind if you published them again.

In its present state Fidonet could function very well with less hierarchie. Of course it is not going to happen....


Cheers, Michiel
