 Some of the Fidonet wonks rave about the "fidoweb", which is another
 word for having multiple network feeds, then using your BBS software's
 dupe detection to weed out the duplicates. Apparently someone felt
 censored once by a hub filtering messages and this became a workaround.

 Back in the day, Fidonet put way too much focus on the backbone, and
 the sysops running it. No one's paying to download packets via LD any
 more, a distributed arrangement makes sense - and we're not limited to
 single lines with busy signals for most sysops.

 With multi-node software running binkp, we could re-arrange networks
 quite easily. Fidonet could be one zone, I've thought. I always worry
 about how many nodes are on auto-pilot and would fall off the network
 if you made a "flag day" change. But, then again, were those nodes
 were contributing to the network?
