Yes, though I simply stated I saw no need for non-Z1 SysOps to have access to a 

Z1 Administrative forum. They are more than welcome to make use of the 
Echolist, as an example, but why would we want, or need, non-Z1 SysOps to have 
access to the NAB?

This is purely a technical decision. I have never been "across the pond" though 

I have visited several Far East ports of call on leave from the Marine Corps 
while stationed on several Helicopter Carriers. :) I have no hangups about 
"foreigners" that I am aware of, though I do consider US interests before any 
others, good enough?

Mark did not make his case in my mind for any NEED for this. I welcome anyone 
to do so!
