Just reflecting on a post from Vorlon in Mystic echo.

I'm thinking if flags were added to the fsxNet nodelist they would need ot be
useful for cross FTN purposes not just for one specific mod or project.

I guess the question becomes what is really useful to know in a nodelist that
is not already there now?

Is it a case that showing SSH and TOR info is enough with flags created for
each?

Could it be better to build some separate reference file that ships in an
infopack and can have all the tags and data per BBS node added to / removed
from it..and that file becomes a sort of new master nodelist style file that
mods can use to pick up information required for the mod to work?

I dunno... it's late as I type this and I know my thinking is now confused
and muddled. I'd best get some zzz..
