Hello Alan,

 AI>>> Allen Prunty was the last elected moderator of this area. I don't
 AI>>> know what has become of him but I don't think he had any
 AI>>> probationary sysops hanging around.

 LL>> Yes he did.

 AI> The idea of a probationary sysop is a nothing burger.

All participants are either a sysop, or a potential sysop.
I find the term probationary sysop to be clearer, as all participants
should be welcomed even if they are not full-fledged sysops in actual
practice.

 AI> You either do it or you don't.

There is no timetable as to when a participant must decide when,
if ever, to become a full-fledged sysop.

 AI> Nick has offered you an easy path to getting nodelisted.

The only "rule" or "test" that I am aware of is to demonstrate the
ability to send and receive netmail. There is no deadline to do so.

 AI> Take it or leave it.

Would you like me to send you a netmail?
I can do that.
Would you like me to read a netmail you send me?
I can do that, too.

Would that qualify me as being a Fidonet sysop?

According to the "rules" it would.

For Life,
Lee
