seems to be their favorite "answer.") Suffice it to say that if AnoNet1
wanted to merge with AnoNet2, nobody on AnoNet2 is likely to object.

=item Do I have to choose between AnoNet1 and AnoNet2, or is there a way to join both?
-There's no need to choose one or the other. As long as you don't
-advertise AnoNet2 routes into AnoNet1, you should be fine: their Salem
-witch hunt against "dual citizens" seems to have died off by now.
-If you're currently getting to AnoNet1 through the official AnoNet1 CP
-(run by Kaos), simply switch to UFO's CP, and you'll automatically be
-connected to both, so you can check them both out and figure out at your
-own pace what you want to do.

-Update: Both CPs can now access both sides of AnoNet, so you can come
-in from the AnoNet1 CP and chat on AnoNet2 IRC, or you can come in from
-UFO's AnoNet2 CP and chat on AnoNet1 IRC.
+On the IP level, when you join one you automatically join the other.
+The easiest way to claim resources is with the AnoNet2 resdb. It is
+the only complete database of AnoNet resources, and it is the only
+decentralized resource database. You can join IRC on AnoNet1 or AnoNet2
+or both (but crzydmnd and risc kick people from AnoNet1 IRC, apparently
+for fun). You can contribute to the AnoNet1 wiki or the AnoNet2 wikis,
+or you can make your own.

+=item If the two parts of AnoNet are connected again, why are they still being advertized separately?
+
+Currently, there is still a single point of failure connecting AnoNet1
+and AnoNet2 at the IP level. In addition, AnoNet1 and AnoNet2 still
+have completely separate governments. (AnoNet1 has a government, while
+AnoNet2 doesn't.)
