YES! It should go without saying that to be a member of the FTSC, one must be a fully qualified Fidonet member.

You know what? If I qualify as pedantic or anal in your eyes, I may as well live up to the reputation. So...
Running a Fidonet node isn't as hard as it used to be. You do not need a phone line any more, you do not need to spend a couple of hundred bucks for a modem. All you need is an internet connection and a computer that runs a fidonet mailer, tosser and editor. All of that you probably already have, when you run a point system.
So have your system run 24/7, configure it to accept incoming calls and apply for a node number. Then we will talk again.
