I don't report to my RC. I send him segments, and as a sysop in his region, I 
expect him to process those segments. We in R12 don't give our RC a badge and a 
gun.

I don't report to you, either.

I will never again name names of NCs or RCs who are destroying their 
constituencies. I did that once and realized that people are not interested in 
evidence. I am *certainly* not going to drag brand new sysops who have been 
intimidated by people in their own areas into the public light.

You, as an outstanding example of the aforementioned public light, are 
interested in discrediting me and forcing Net229 sysops to conform to your 
vision of the ultimate Fidonet. I have no interest in discussing these listings 
with you now that I have explained that we list sysops who ask to be listed.

I'm no unique N229C. I have been doing this less than a year. Maybe some other 
N229C will play "let's assasinate characters in the interest of Fidonet" with 
you.  The sysops are where they *want* to be. If they *want* to go elsewhere, 
they are welcome to.

As you have so often advocated, it is not up to me to dictate how other 
nets/regions/zones run their territories. That is the business of the sysops 
who live in those conditions. When a sysop gets a number in 1:229, then that is 
the territory that sysop has joined by choice.
