    Hello Ward,

    I did a count again of individual unique sysop-names ...

    Zone1 309
    Zone2 575
    Zone3 21
    Zone4 19

    Zone 4 is catching up, almost overtaking Zone 3. But even
    if both Zone 3 and Zone 4 are combined with Zone 1, still less
    than Zone 2. So why have zones at all?

    Oh.

    If Zone 2 had more individual unique sysop-names, you would
    no longer be IC. And that would be a real travesty for all who
    still believe Zone 1 still rules the roost.

    923 can not be right. 923 is uneven. The numbers for the 4 zones are all uneven. The sum of an even number of uneven numbers must be even.

    QED.


    Cheers, Michiel

    You are a slow learner, Michiel.

    I prefer Ricard ... as many lights as you want ... after a while.
