Hi John,

It should be up to the node if he wants to be in your database or not. So only add them when they send a /ADD (not on any command like the /HELP), and delete them when they send the /DELETE.

That's not the same thing, and for instance the nodenumber remains in your database.

If you want the cooperation of sysops, you should leave them the freedom of choice in these matters!

That's something different, I choose to use a public media to voice my oppinion. I didn't have the choice to be added to your database, and have no idea what it will be used for and where it will be published.

Bye, Wilfred.
