No: I'm trying to find some working procedure for letting competent people in FTSC (well, that's not a problem when they are ready to serve) while keeping incompetent people away (and this is almost impossible with current procedure).

You may be surprized, but the internet is not a network - it consists of many segments (called autonomous systems, AS) being run by different operators.

Imagine? Just look at it...

You definitely will be surprized, but I never needed to use it... We have torrents.ru aka rutracker.org for years :-)
Also, I've never paid and, hopefully, never will pay for the information presented in any digital form. If someone would like to get some money for digital information from me, they will get it in a digital form as well: http://pics.rsh.ru/img/100_rub_2butzf0i.png (yes, you've just got it - but unlike the real banknote, it can't be spent for 13.8 meters^3 of gas, or 16.9 kW*h of electrical energy, or a bottle of beer, or whatever).

Eghm... Unable to parse this.
