 though, AnoNet2's technical construction is such that the unofficial

 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.
+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.
 
-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.
+=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.)
