   JH> you should know. you're the expert on being full of shit.   
      
   I have a very easy challenge for you Professor.   
      
   Just go grab yourself a node number, join Fido and immediately call for a snap   
   election to replace me as ZC1.   
      
   I will agree to an election process so you have a fair chance to prove to   
   everyone that you really are deserving of respect and acknowledgement. ZC   
   elections are often documented in BBS'ing history at least at the nodelist    
   level... so perfect opportunity for you to right some wrongs.   
      
   Th election will be ran as it usually does; with every Sysop in this zone   
   given a chance to vote. An independant/neutral vote counter is decided upon   
   and all votes anonymous with everyone casting ballots for their candidate with   
   a random preferred passphrase. The counter receives the votes by Netmail and   
   ack's these by posting just that passphrase in the Z1C echo.   
      
   Its a very good system of checks 'n balances and theres some Q&A periods and   
   opportunities to contest any votes before a final result gets posted.   
      
   The pressure is all on me because I run shit software and am incompetent, so   
   a Professor like you should win by a landslide. I will politely turn over all   
   my code, software, configs, everything and vanish from BBS'ing forever.   
      
   When you are listed at 1:1/0, you have control over the Zone root-segment, so   
   you can finally correct that annoying "unofficial" 1:1/105 entry.   
      
   Do you accept my easy challenge? Or shall I grab popcorn when I hear why not?
