Yes, he's the NC202 now.

Well, with fido's nodelist down to just a few hundred nodes in this zone,
there's really no need to call more than one BBS these days. I just
thought you might be interested in becoming a member, so that when the
BBSs in San Diego dry up, you'll be prepared. Course, if you had an
internet service, you could always telnet to a BBS and of course, the time
limit is no longer a problem.
