FWEEET! Todd!  The Filegate ain't a part of FidoNet, remember?

A few systems vote and force their file on the majority...


 TC> I see at best a handful of

You're writing this because you're not getting your way.

 TC> Yet you are light handed on those privledged children that you

Somebody needs to before the Z1B control freaks get out of control.

Try and stop me...


 TC> Your recent actions go against what the

 TC> we have had posting rights to backbone

Yes, but the Z1B is not an authorative body.  The Z1B has no right to make any
determination that any file is a "legitimate information file" and foist it
upion the rest of Zone 1.  The Z1C has already made the determination as to
which file is "legitimate" and she *is* an authorative body.

Has it ever occurred to you that even if one of my downlinks tried to use that
chart of yours to route a netmail, when it hit my system, my routing configs
would take over and send it the way *I* wanted it to go?

Kinda lowers IRNROUTE's status, doncha think?

 TC> of the entire fdn system... AS far as I knew if a FDN heads could

Then why don't you hatch IRNROUTE from your own FDN and route it to the people
that need it?

 TC> Guess what no matter how many tags you add people are still going to
 TC> toss them into the same damn directory

We don't all run our systems the same as you do..
