Hello Dale,

There is a difference between "active" systems and "listed" systems. There is a
LOT of dead wood in the nodelist and many systems are listed more than once.
Those 910 nodes listed in nodelist.364 are an extremely optimistic
representation of reality. I would say that the reality is that fidonet has no
more than a few hundred active sysops.
The nodes listed in the IPv6 list are all active nodes. I periodically do spot
checks to see if they are alive. When they are dead and remain dead for a couple
of weeks, they are removed from the list.

Then why did you respond to my article?
