Of course you can help people if they are doing it wrong. Nothing wrong with that. ;-)

No it's having a mailbox in front of your house where everybody can drop mail into. You can keep your frontdoor locked.

It's not an opinion, it's decades of established practice how things are done in Fidonet technology networks.


Bye, Wilfred.
