Hello Jasen,

>FV> Still a kludge and since a Point isn't in the Nodelist, just a user.

JB> Mv>> So? Why MUST the editor be in the nodelist. If he can be reached via a pointnumber that is published in FidoNews and his bossnode is in the nodelist, that serves the purpose doesn't it?

FV> Points are not in the Nodelist and are nothing more than users with a mailer. P4 states this. I can't see how a Point can be the editor of a publication that s/he isn't a member of.

JB> Nodes, and Points aren't people. they are addresses. I grant that it may be a requirement that the editor has a node address, but I see no reason why the editor can't also have a point address.

FV>Agreed. There is also no reason that a *C can't have a Point address, or several Point addresses. But, would you want your *C to be only a Point address? I think not.

Regards,

Frank
