Something has got to be done about the node list.
I know of at least three people in my area who don't respond to emails. 
One guy who isn't interested in joining melbwireless (more interested in 
getting a single link up with his mate down the road ay). I don't even 
bother looking at the node list for people to connect to anymore, it seems 
pointless.

Perhaps "inactive" nodes could be moved to a separate list. As for the 
people who are out of the country for 6 months.... What the hell is the 
point of having a node listed for a place thats not operational and where 
there is no work going on to make it so.

Throw in a few choice phrases (starting with f and c words) about the 
amount of noise on the nodedb and that finishes this rant.
