   Hello Alexey,   
      
   On Tuesday December 17 2019 15:31, you wrote to me:   
      
    AF> I mean something different. For example, if it would be somehow   
    AF> possible to store CA pubkey in the nodelist, it could work.   
      
   That would mean a significant redesign of the format of the nodelist. WHich   
   would make a lot of nodelist processing sofware go in a flat spin. I am not   
   sure we should go that way...   
      
    AF> Or we could have a global FIDONET CA. :)   
      
   Experience with previous "centralised authority" in Fidonet tells me this is a   
   bad idea. Can you say "echolist"?   
      
   If I have to choose between the two evils of a centralised authority within   
   Fidonet or one outside Fidonet, I'd pefer the latter. At last the latter   
   presumably has no interest in playing fidonet politcal games.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
