Of course, even WITH such a prohibition in the rules, one would need to
identify exactly which Fido node was giving the access to someone who
was copying the posts and reposting them, otherwise there's no recourse
under Fido regs to block them. . . :|

(being as you could get them cut off at Node "A" then they could easily
move on to BBS "C" or Node "H"!)

I know how easy this would be, because I currently access Fidonet from
at least a dozen locales!
