 The vibe reminds me of two old guys still pissing about a high-school
 rivalry. Only this time, it's Fidonet zone politics instead of 20
 year old football games.

 I keep saying that Fidonet could be one zone given the proliferation
 of telnet/binkp. Who needs zones and gates at this size?

 A renumbering might reveal a lot of zombie boards and sysops who
 decide to take their BBSes down rather than mess with them. I guess
 we're stuck with zones for now.
