Failed End Run

As the turf wars continue, CAB is, again, perturbed with the Zone 1 Coordinator for alleged nodelist misdeeds, emploring like-minded sysops throughout the Zone to stand up and be heard.

Lest CAB be reminded, he had an obligation, per Policy 4, to inform the Z1C of a pending election and he also was obliged to notify the Z1C of the Region's results, not simply insert the new RC 12 in the nodelist, with instructions to list whoever was found sufficiently amusing.

Further, the Z1C has NO OBLIGATION to accept the results of that RC "election" or any other. It's a long held courtesy that the will of the Region be granted, but it's not guaranteed, particularly when the departing and incoming RCs opt to play hijinks with their Regional segment and list person(s) already listed elsewhere, when there is no technical reason to do so.

If Mr. Ross has a need to be listed in Region 12, I can't imagine why the Z1C wouldn't grant the request, if asked. Course, that would also necessitate that Mr. Ross be removed from the Region 18 segment. After all, there can be no technical reason why Mr. Ross requires listings in two Regions.

The nodelist is an address book not a political toy for the whims of perpetually disgruntled nodes. Choose not to recognize that and the *C above will do it for you as has been done!

Scorecard reads: Z1C 7 - CAB/DEE 0.
