   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?
