I just posted a brief "how I got here" story.

But I guess a part of what you said could be true. If I had  
landed on a JamNNTP provider in Zone 1 the first time, then  
*maybe* I would have ended up with a point in my own domestic  
zone.

I don't see Zone 1 sysops eager to encourage point users.

The Z2 Pointlist is an amazing project. It speaks to the  
openess and practicality of operating as a point when that is  
a better option for a user.

BTW..  I am back in Finland for the evening.  ;)
