You can't tell some people.  It's actually not so bad if someone's 
always around to push the buttons (like used to happen with an IRLP 
node down here), but if there's NO ONE to control the links, it's a 
downright pain and a nuisance for local users.

That's a reasonable policy.  At least it stops the fool with NOCALL 
set in their HT from playing around. :)
