Hello Jeff or anybody who is in contact with him.

There is a comma missing between the sysop name field and the phonenumber field: ,Jeff_Smith-Unpublished-,

I have tried to inform Jeff by netmail, but the messages apparently did not reach him.

Since Jeff is also the RC, you might want to netmail Nick Andre directly.

I am informing a nodelist admin of a typo, not policing the nodelist.

Then perhaps you should check with your ZC if it is also in the last region segment he received from you...

I looked in the latest segment that went out to Nick and there was
no missing comma.

Correct. As it was received named with .094, it will not process until this upcoming Friday.

Well, the don't say anything.

The error was first listed in the Z1 nodelist.017 published
on Jan 17 2020.

It is still there in todays nodelist.089

Your ZC has already reacted, that the file he received has daynbr 094
The earliest day that makenl would have used that daynumber would have
been Saturday 28 Mar 2020

My message in this area was written on Saturday 28 Mar 2020.

So don't tell me that I see things that are not there.

Todays Z1 Nodelist tells me that both nodes are administered by Jeff Smith. Todays Z1 Nodelist does not list a valid entry for 1:14/7

The netmail I sent, to your RC at 1:14/0, was dated February 7 2020.

May I suggest, you tell your fairytails somewhere else, I am to old to believe in them.

I'd have to agree with this.

Here's a snippet from my copy of nodelist.087, which I received
through normal FDN distribution:

Region,14,Mid_West_USA,IA_KS_MN_MO_NE_ND_SD,Jeff_Smith,-Unpublished-,300,CM,XX,ITN,INA:ftn.region14.org,IBN
,5,Region_14_IP_Server,Anoka_MN,Jeff_Smith,-Unpublished-,300,CM,XX,ITN,IFT,INA:ftn.region14.org,IBN

;E ,7,Grem's_Place_BBS,Anoka_MN,Jeff_Smith-Unpublished-,300,CM,XX,ITN,IFT,INA:bbs.grems-place.net,IBN

There's no comma after the name.

No idea what that ";E " is all about.

;E means error when it was processed by my system.

Makenl does some checking on the first 7 fields of a nodelist line.
The flags we introduced later and not included in the makenl checking
process.

When makenl finds an error in a line, it disables the line by
prepending ;E
Then a second error line is added that declares the err

Fiels are delimited by comma's
The first field defines functions as Zone, Region, Host, Hub, Pvt etc.
For normal nodes this field is empty.

The fifth field contains the sysop name, it should not contain spaces.
Because the comma is missing -Unpublished- becomes part of the sysopname.

The sixth field defines the telephone number, because of the missing delimiter,
the baudrate is taken as the telephone numer. There is a numeric
value there so it seems to be OK for makenl.

Then the seventh field is read, which now contains "CM". This is not accepted as a valid baudrate and makenl decides the line is in error.
A line is inserted ;E -- invalid baudrate -- 'CM'

Excellent! Makes perfect sense - thank you for that information.
