Expanding from there, we have to deal with the nodenumber
of the Fidonews editor which was determined by the powers-
that-be when they drafted P4 in their infinite wisdom,
decided it should be 1:1/1 never thinking a Fidonews-editor
could be from a different zone.

As you recall, that was a reason for the previous attempt to amend P4.
Even such a simple change could not muster a passing vote. It is just something that has to be lived with, and ignored in practice.

ummm... that was _one_ of the reasons for the previous attempt to
change P4... there were two that got shoved together at that
To be fair -- it was the only reason for the first proposal made by the outgoing editor of fidonews. That proposal got no support and very
little publicity. Then we started a second proposal that included the amendment for fidonews editor plus attempting to add procedures that
would have allowed for an easier path to future revisions of policy.
That second proposal got much more traction and discussion. However,
when put for a vote before the then sitting RCs not even a quorum of the
RCs bothered to respond. Of those who did respond, the vote had more
yeas than nays -- but that did not matter and the proposal died.
I knew there was an attempt to change policy that failed but I didn't
know the reason why. That's really sad to learn that the RCs of
Fidonet either didn't care or were to busy with other things.. :(
there was also (reportedly) coercion involved with some RCs being told (aka ordered) to participate or be replaced...

I find that strange. The RCs are the ones who did / will do this (or not).
It's not a simple task so I understand their trepidation.. :)
