Hello Greg,
[..]
When Tom Jennings & Friends started playing around with Fidonet,
there were no zones. And then, one day, Tom Jennings had a wild hair
up his arse and decided Fidonet needed zones. Exactly six of them.
So he told his minions to write up a document called P4 and have
them include a rule to have six zones.
I really think you would learn a great deal by simply watching the BBS Documentary Chapter 4 covering Fidonet. It's on youtube.
Instead of calling things BS of which you have, which ARE already a part of Fidonet history. Stop being a dork, your just embarrassing.
Watch the video and learn something in the process. Then we can follow up.
