   One of the reasons I never embraced f5555.n280.z2.fidonet.net is that it   
   depends on one person. Fidonet is not a legal entity, so the domain must be   
   registered by a private person. If that person dies, looses interest or leaves   
   Fidonet with slamming doors, there is a problem.   
      
   Shifting to binkp.net is no good for those with legacy software that is not   
   configurable. Plus that the basic problem - dependency on one person - remains.   
      
   To my surprise I find that f5555.n280.z2.binkp.net exists. I never asked for   
   that, I can only assume someone scanned the nodelist and derived a zone file   
   for binkp.net from it. Makes me wonder why. The added value is zero as all the   
   information is already in the nodelist.
