The point is that someone in Zone 2 should not be sending out netmail blasts 
(it wasn't just me) interzone about an issue that is none of their business.  
If he is worried, he has to get my RC involved, not me directly, as it is my 
RC who approves my nodelist segment.  I could technically file a policy 
complaint but I'm not going to because Fidonet isn't worth the trouble.  I 
mainly still carry Fidonet for a long-time caller of mine (he's 84). When he 
stops calling, I'm going to drop Fidonet completely as anyone I care about is 
also in Micronet.

Besides, no one but him has said anything to me in 28 years about that flag.  
It's much ado about nothing and Michiel is just a shitstirrer at heart.

Andrew Leary, who's been in Fidonet much longer than Michiel and serves as the 
FTSC administrator, told my my use of the flag is the common usage.

Michiel van der Vlist is a bitter old man who uses Fidonet as something to 
validate his existence, much like Ward does.
