Yeah, why don't we all just use Fidonet? The number of echomail areas is not limited.

I don't get it either. What's so exciting about collecting node numbers from tiny micro networks?

But calling it an ego trip? How do you know if that was the motivation? And why is the previous "ego trip" (MusicalNet) okay and the latest one is not?

Maybe everyone should create their own network and then we interlink them to one global inter-FTN. Then we are all ego-trip equal.
