 AV>> In general, that should be changed to "must not".

 MR> That would work if we would have more active nodes.

   On the contrary, I would dare say.

   I've been NC2:203 since 1991 if memory serves me right (the longest lasting 
coordinator in fidonet perhaps?) and for more than a decade I've been RC20.

   According to P4 I've been "completely responsible for the smooth operation 
of the network" 2:203 and later on ditto for the region 2:20.

   I'd like to claim that long lasting, well performing coordinators can be 
very valuable to the FTSC. More so than any leaf node sysop. After all, this is 
why the ZCs have a standing invitation to take part of the FTSC work.

   It may be OK to be able to write FTN programs, but more importantly IMHO is 
the ability to oversee the "smooth operation" of our beloved Fidonet.
