Why do you need a point number in Italy? ;)

Because I'm a world traveller and it's better than being pointless.

Is that mandatory, where you live?
Overhere it's only mandatory in public transport. In
shops and supermarkets it isn't (yet). But the shop
owners can require it of their customers. But I haven't
seen that yet...

You could become a point of your own node? I do that...

Probably because like me, he finds it easier to get a
point outside of Z1 than in.

outside of Z1 than in.
But I guess a part of what you said could be true. If I had
landed on a JamNNTP provider in Zone 1 the first time, then
*maybe* I would have ended up with a point in my own domestic
zone.
I don't see Zone 1 sysops eager to encourage point users.
The Z2 Pointlist is an amazing project. It speaks to the openess
and practicality of operating as a point when that is a better
option for a user.

Exactly. I did have a zone 1 point a few years ago. But
unfortunately the device died, and typical me, I didn't
have the information backed up. I don't even remember
the system, except it was in Canada.
This time around, I asked 20-25 Z1 sysops, who generally
gave some weak answer about they weren't allowed to. I
just figured that they didn't want to. That's fine.
Z2 was more welcoming. And Z4 as well, but there are
issues along the line on messages traveling.
I would still like to eventually set up an actual BBS at
some point. If only fir my own testing grounds.
But that's in the "do it later" pile.
I have no idea of what JamNNTP is.Look at a recent FIDONEWS newsletter for the section:
It would probably be easy enough to figure it out. If you wrote
in any of the echos, they are probably still stored on
somebody's system and you could probably find it.
The echomail archive at IPTIA might have it:

Even Stas has a netmail-based message-find search available. It
might be fun to give it a spin with your criteria. Stas posted
a brief how-to/syntax in the FUTURE4FIDO echo not long ago.
Initially, I also met some resistance and a simple "why not just operate bbs" response. But I wasn't interested in being a
sysop. I just wanted to participate in echomail, first.
There are a handful of systems that form a web network. If you
pick one of those as your Boss node, then you can be assured
that the messages will move more reliably. Apparently, Tommi's
system is one of those. I got lucky.
But that's in the "do it later" pile.Uh-Oh.. If you've already got a "pile", I have to wonder when
you will time to process it all?

It seems to be a mandatory thing in the last few weeks. And,
if you are not wearing one, people look at you like you are
some icky disgusting creature dispensing germs everywhere.

shops and supermarkets it isn't (yet). But the shop
owners can require it of their customers. But I haven't

Interesting that your shops have a choice. Here.. all "public
spaces" includes anywhere where the public can gather - and
that includes shops.
I am impressed with Zone 2 implementation and maintenance of
the Z2 Pointlist. I'm "listed" in that one! :)

A secondary answer for me is I like being able to "see" transit times on messages. I find it amazing if you think about it. I'm in Texas, sending messages to August, for example, who is in Canada. My message goes from here to Germany, arriving in Italy or Finland, and on to August in Canada, in an hour or so, barring any system problems along the way.
