 I agree. Given the size of Fidonet, minus the administrative overhead,
 minus the zombie echoes with no posts kept alive by moderators, and
 minus the autopilot nodes, Fidonet would be a different place.

 In the US, you could theoretically remove nets altogether and still
 have a managaeable regional structure. There may be country-specific
 complications in Z2 I'm not aware of.
