Good to hear from you!

I concur.. The thing like 2:0/0 shouldn't have to happen. Winpoint has only
recently arisen from the ashes to be reworked. Hopefully Tim will focus on the
overlooked issues in netmail addressing.

I kinda wondered why wouldn't Zone0 be allowed. Afterall, it's just another
number. I imagined that a zone 0 could solve the diversity problem.  ;)
