Can you remember when and in what echo was this discussed? I'd like to read that if I can find it somewhere.

It might have been this one.

Ok, so you agree that merging/changing zones is not -currently- a
good idea.

No, I think it's a good idea, but I think it's an uphill battle to
implement.

I'd like to see a Fidonet with active nodes, a simpler structure reflective
of the smaller size and lack of need for dialup to move packets and an echolist where dead echoes are dropped or consolidated into other echoes to create fewer echoes with more message traffic.

On the contrary, but I'm being naive. Removing the zone structure
wouldn't remove long-standing geographic feuds, which gets tiresome.
Those feuds would continue unabated.

I thought that was a thing of the past. AFAIK we don't have those in
zone 2 (though I don't know for sure).

There's still a lot of sniping between zones, maybe not so much within
zones.

But back to your zone merge suggestion. What would be gain from that change, other than having only one ZC? (be it Belgian, Canadian,
Russian or whatever...)
