No, you didn't say that. I was parafrasing from someone else in your country who claims to be able to solve major war related problems in 24 hours.

Yes, that is far too long.

Not on the front, but cities in Ukraine are constanly bombed. People are constantly running to he shelters. Actually the whole country is more or less a war zone...

You can't judge that from a distance by just looking at the nodelist. Odessa is partly bombed to smithereens. While the system of NC467 seems to be up and running, the sysop may be in no position to take responsibility for another net. Only those in the field can judge that.

Besides, net 466 does not need another NC. It is dead as a doornail. It just needs to be removed.



Cheers, Michiel
