   When there were still duplicate nets in fidonet, zone-gates and seen-by   
   stripping was needed. And this wasn't a good idea. But fidonet has changed...

   Yes please, put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes, and keep repeating   
   the mantra "fidonet is not changing" for as long as you can. Maybe it will   
   have become a reality when you're done... ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
