Hello All!

I just poked around my ALLFIX setup.

I have 43 nodes in its node manager

Of that 43:

13 of 43 pull the Z1_REC FDN, this is the FDN for Foxy's route list and the 
various regional route charts.

26 of 43 pull the BACKBONE FDN.

21 of 43 pull the Z1B_ERN FDN.

Remember when I created Z1B_ERN, I linked everyone who was linked into BACKBONE 
FDN, into it, it appears that 5 have on their own decided to opt out, WOW I 
call that choice.

Lets break down the numbers:

30.2% of them want the Z1_REC FDN

60.4% of them want the BACKBONE FDN

48.8% of them want the Z1B_ERN FDN

Pretty good number for the alternate chart FDN, in contrast to the Z1_REC FDN. 
But obviously the links have a choice and not 100% feel they need a route chart 
of any type. Nearly 40% dont even want BACKBONE.

So why the mentality displayed by the Z1B or the publishers of that chart, why 
this need to ram a route chart down the throats of those whom didnt get to 
vote?
