Hi, Kurt!

 WD>> you will find 300 new entries with "New_Sysop" in a particular net.

May be you mean network and NC? I am also familiar with this procedure. ;) The question was: What is the purpose of such lines in the _NODELIST_?

 KW> I've had some of the new nodes in my region send netmail, the others

I usually don't take requests like this. I always answer by e-mail, but until I am contacted via netmail, I do not make any changes to the nodelist.

Have nice nights.
