Subj : Fidonet "zone 5" To : Misschief From : Atreyu Date : Mon Sep 19 2022 21:59:55 Hello Miss Chief, I left you an urgent polite message on your BBS. You are welcome to apply for a Fidonet nodelisting in Zone 1, North America, in Net 153 which serves your geographic location. You may obtain a feed from whomever you wish and play the role of Hub as you please. But you may not use the Zone 5 address/domain or refer to yourself as an "official" Fidonet system. I could understand if you were overtly ambitious and didn't know any better but you must have skimmed the nodelist to decide upon zone 5... I'm curious when you were planning on bringing this to my attention or the other three ZC's or even how technically you planned to push a segment across my desk. Its also a bit strange that you have registered at least two domains pertaining to your "official" Fido status. I have brought this to the attention of the Telnet BBS Guide as well as IpingthereforeIam.com. To save yourself potential embarassment net-wide, please apply for and join Fidonet via the appropriate channels and methods in the same manner as the other hundreds of Fido systems that are nodelisted have done so. You are technically competent enough to configure a mailer, so you are competent enough not to challenge me on this. It is not necessary to respond to this message. Thank you.
