I mean it in the traditional sense of technical gatekeeping. In my mind,
fido has always had a certain "read the policy file and if you can't figure
it out, tough" attitude about it. This isn't from dealing with a particular
person, it's just the 'impression' that fidonet.org leaves, IMO.

That's awesome. I meant nothing personal directed towards anybody in
particular, it's just the impression I've always sort of been left with
by fido, even in the 'old days'.
