   errrmmm... there are/were many *Cs that manually maintained their segments in   
   a plain old text editor with no assistance from any software... there is no   
   guarrantee that they had any sort of ""testrun"" or "validation" of their   
   segment other than that returned by the next *C up the chain... those *Cs   
   should be able to edit the submitted segment to fix it so as to ensure that   
   the net or region covered by the broken segment is not left out of their   
   segment being passed on upstream...   
      
   let's not fall into the fallacy that everyone can even run makenl or any other   
   nodelist tool or that they even have the desire to do so...
