HD> You forget this: HD> CM for IP-mailers, and PVT for POTS mailers, hence the term HD> "unpublished" accomplished with the PVT keyword.
Are you a twin brother of lcm?
It makes no sense. A node is either Pvt or it isn't. If there is no contact info published in the nodelist, it is a Pvt node. If contact info is published in the nodelist, it is not a Pvt node. What additional contact info is available but only shared with a limited number of intimi is irrelevant with regard of the nodelist. Whether this presumed additional contact information is a telephone number, and additional IP protocol the GPS coordinates of a drone landing pad for micro SD card delivery is irrelevant. If the info is not published in the nodelist, there is no added value in sticking hints in the nodelist that it exists at all.
HD>>> That system is CM for insiders (friends) who know the contact HD>>> information, but private for all others (strangers).
MvdV>> If the contact info is not made public, there is no point in MvdV>> making the CM public. It should be privtae as well.
HD> There is a difference in Points not CM and Points that are CM.
Indeed. But we are not discussing points, we are discuusing the nodelist.
HD> It is something like the same as for secred phone numbers. HD> Some people donot want to be called by every stranger, but only known HD> people.
And so they are NOT in the telephone book. Not with an unlisted or Pvt flag or whatever. They are not in the telephone book at all.
