I have Netmailed you about this and did not receive a reply, but find you 
discussing this here. Before someone usurps this into something negative
because "they can", let me respond in the most helpful way.

Fido has a Policy which is structured around the concept of Nets, Regions and
Zones. While I agree with you that a lot of it is outdated... fact is thats 
how it is, its likely never to change. The application process is clear in 
that you must have a mailer which can demonstrate the ability to exchange 
Netmail. I assume you run a Synchronet system judging from your taglines.

For that you need a nodelist, no matter how much Rob Swindell complains or
takes it upon himself to write rediculous application scripting nonsense that
emails my personal address rather than Netmailing the appropriate NC or RC
just because "he can".

So you would merely examine the recent nodelist I publish to determine the
appropriate Net to belong to and apply directly via Netmail. In this case
NC135, then RC18... then if all fails, me, ZC1.

The problem is NC135 recently moved due to work and is still "settling in". 
The other problem is that this settling in has been weeks now, RC18 is well 
aware of that.

But another problem is RC18 also has some health issues, serious enough that I
would not blame him for not making Fido a life priority but removing him from 
the role places a serious challenge on me to find a reliable replacement.

Lets give this another week or so then I will step in and list you manually. 

Also, the sands of time for Fido moves a bit slower than FSX or Other Nets 
because it is not one person calling the shots. For this reason your patience 
is greatly appreciated.
