                Nodelisting in dual zones

With the advent of the internet the desire to have nodes listed in
multiple zones has increased.

The ZCs have always tried to stay away from it as it might be the
opening of a can of very live worms.

Some time ago however a Canadian sysop with Greek ancestry by the
name of Dimitri Papadopoulas requested such a Z2-nodenumber.

He runs a pretty successful Greek-themed BBS-operation from the
Montreal-area which extends into zone-2. To make it more
appealing for people from Greece to participate, he asks for
this entry.

Z1C and Z2C discussed this to reach a unified response.
After carefull consideration and without neither Z3C or Z4C
objecting, we decided to grant the request of Dimitri Papadopoulos.
The concerned ZC/RC/NC in both zones all share the same ideas.

It is at the same time hoped that this dual listing will encourage
the rebuilding of some Zone-2 areas.

Dimitri will enter the segment of Zone-2 soon as part of Region-56
and a new yet to-be-created net-411 for Greece.

The ZCs wish to stress that this is not to trigger a general trend
but a single well argumented case that got approved.

Take care,

Ward Dossche (and Janis Kracht)
