In progress.       O>        O> After days (and nights) of hard work by the *Clowns they managed to scrub an       O> piece of useful infomation from www.z1.fidonet.org and replaced it with a "4              LOL.              Its amusing to me that after a long period of playful tame banter between        myself and Wilfred van Velzen, all of the sudden that "stopped" one day, and        "Oli" made his grand debut. Its like some sort of weird homage to the split       personality of Lee/Bjorn. Your recent kludge-douchebaggery in the BinkD echo        has the tell-tale signs written alllllllllll over it.              Before you expose your cluelessness further, the fidonet.org server system is       not hosted or ran by any ZC and has its history of problems, more serious ones       than your douchebaggery trolling games.              To have one simple page or DNS entry changed on that system is not a       straightforward task one would think. In fact its impressive that even       *something* can be updated on that Rube Goldberg contraption that masquerades       as a Linux system. Here with go again with Linux, the "advanced OS" thats so       advanced, not even the server sysadmin can easily make *one change* to it.              Anyhow, I am in a position to wave my magical wizard wand and have the NS       records point to my own DNS at any time. And in doing so... I would       potentially upset the MX and DNS for Region 50 and possibly others.              I normally don't mind a good fight but I'm not being paid enough by you or       others to fight a region of Russians who've come to depend on Fidonet as       something of importance to them in the Putin regime.              Since no ZC has direct access to the current underlining DNS, it would be       difficult to clone the DNS. No ZC is being paid enough to take that on.              And who recently ate the cost of renewing the fidonet.org domain? Whoes credit       card paid the bill? Or should the domain expire and go to a squatter instead?              Was the Zone 1 anti-Trump site a mission-critical website that must be up       24/7? What happens when you visit www.fidonet.org and click Zone 1?              What exactly have you contributed to Fidonet, other than anal vapor?              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
