    Do you mean that net numbers are not related to region numbers, like in z2 (mostly) and z4?

    :-)

    Anyway with TZUTC, though maybe a bit kludgy, you can get the
    same result (obtaining the UTC time) if the software supports
    this. But other than Jamnntpd, no idea what editors or packages
    do (I'm testing several ones, little by little)

    It is not to late to update Golded. It is open source...

    True. That's great.

    It would have made a lot of sense to use the CCITT-numbering scheme as region numbers ... but the founding fathers in all their wisdom had no clue ...

    Now you're removing all blank lines, and also the 2nd level quotes.

    Maybe. Or maybe they considered GMT a "European thing". Like meters
    and kilogra s. So they ignored it...

    Several of the offices involved in weather reporting have used it for years. However, the general US public has enough trouble figuring out the time zones in the mainland US these days.

    A Fidonet sysop is not representative for the general US public would you not s
    y?

    I would suspect not. :)

    24 hour clocks are in general use here. Digital clocks are almost always config
    red for 24 hour format. Broadcast guides are in 24 hour format. Public transpor
    uses 24 hour format for the time tables.

    Here, AM and PM are more popular. If a clock I have supports it, it
    reports in 24 hour format. Makes doing math using time much easier.

    Yes. As intended. No?

    I thought you intended to keep the 2nd level quotes.

    As for the blank lines, it looks better if you leave just one, as I suggested.

    See my next message.

    Now we'll find out if it turned out the way you suggest. ;)

    There are 2 blank lines.

    0000 0 000 00000 0 0000 00.

    This is how I thought you were going to do: 3rd (and upper) level quotes removed, replaced by just one blank line.

    August asked you:
    "Is your goal to strip out the 3rd(+) level of quoting on the path from Telegram to Fido? That's pretty good and reduces the clutter."
    You replied:
    "Yes. You are right."

    So I assumed you intended to keep the 2nd level.

    (But honestly I don't really care.)

    As for the blank lines, it looks better if you leave just one, as

    Fine.
