I will thank you /not/ to speak for me. And before you cry "NAB dirty tactics", 
know that I am not a member of the NAB /or/ the Z1B, and I very much wish to 
remain entirely independant of either organization.

I am complaining about this file echo hijacking as a concerned member of 
Fidonet who happens to receive that file echo, and by receiving it I expect the 
files contained therein to meet the criteria set out for the file echo's 
distribution. IRNROUTE.* does /not/ meet that criteria.
