In the case of FDidonet security through onscurity seems to work.
It seems to not yet have atracted the attention of governmemt security
services. If we strart playing with high level security mechanisms it may
have the acverse effect of attracting rheir attention.

And that is exactly where Fidonet is different from all the rest.
If we start adding all that, it may hasting the end of Fidonet
because it will becomes just one of the many.
Letting the bikers into the horse club to "save" it may just turn
it into anoher bikers club instead of saving the horse club.
Cheers, Michiel
