    If using the nodelist for the webring....

    How do you account for removed nodes?

    Or do you rebuild the database completely with each nodelist iteration?

    Good question, I guess how do you account for any removals of systems from a source list be it the nodelist or some other file like a systems.txt file in
    an infopack? If this is to be some semi automated thing (am I right in
    assuming this?) then regardless of the 'source of truth' file we're going to need some automation to keep the ring on fire :) and it burns burns burns...
