 AS>>> Am I missing the significance of FD 2.02?

 JY>> It's free, it works, and it has a built-in editor.

 AS> Okay?????  You just described any number of mailers. ;-)

True...


 AS> Meaning it can be used as a point setup as easily.  No matter, Dale is
 AS> ultimately responsible for any point traffic off his system.  So if it
 AS> was Carl who sent the netmail, because he is a nodelisted sysop, both
 AS> he and Dale would be accountable via P4. <g>

You might be on shaky ground including the point (whomever it might be) in any
policy complaint, nodelisted sysop or not.  Points are not members of this
network and the action for which you would file a complaint would be an act of
the point, not the sysop. the node from which the point sent the netmail would
be culpable, however.  this also brings up a question as to the venue of the
PC; if indeed the point were an RC, do you file it with the NC of the network
to which the node belongs, or do you file with the ZC?

Further, your complaint, IIRC, was that an unidentifiable person or aggregate
of persons has sent you a netmail that you find annoying.  Do you find it
annoying due to its content or due to its anonyminity, or both?

Mind you, I'm looking at this from the standpoint of an NC with such a node
and point in my network, and a policy complaint such as your appearing on my
screen.


 JY>> It's also Dial-up only, any FTP or BinkP file transfers are


 AS> Not following on the dialup.  Do you mean that the mailers used by
 AS> the person(s) possibly involved with the netmail I received don't
 AS> have the ability to send CRASHmail?

No, my error, I should have said POTS.


 JY>> Squish, as a tosser, is also a freebie.

 AS> What would free have to do with it?

1)  No cost.

2)  No registration number to trace.
