>LL>Thom LaCosta's private elisting has no official status in Fidonet.   
   >LL>Janis Kracht (former Zone 1 Coordinator) told me that.   
      
   RW>ONly correction I'll make to that is that Janis is not   
   RW>"former" z1 coordinator, but is still z1 coordinator.   
      
    LL> Only in her own mind.   
      
    LL> Like members of a U.S. president's cabinet, each zone coordinator   
    LL> serves only until a new international coordinator is elected.     
      
   there is no international coordinator and likely will not be one... the ZCC   
   takes care of the main job that the IC had...   
      
    LL> The newly elected international coordinator might choose not to    
    LL> appoint any zone coordinators, allowing those positions to remain    
    LL> unfilled.   
      
   can't/won't happen... they would be lynched toot sweet and no one would pay   
   any attention to them...   
      
   [trim]   
      
   RW>sysops will use it to determine the rightful moderator of   
   RW>an echo for purposes of deciding to honor an access cut.   
      
    LL> I can do the same, creating my own private elisting.   
    LL> In fact, I already have.  And that makes me the official   
    LL> owner/moderator/whateveryouwanttocallit of every echo   
    LL> in fidonet.  :)   
      
   that is why thom's list is the one that the backbones recognise and no   
   others... this explains why your list is ignored like others ;)
