I think Bob is joking.

Yes, you can be listed by the metaserver@us.netrek.org guys, but first
the .metaservers technique should work.  In the server source, in the
docs directory there is a Metaserver How-To.  Have you read that?

The server source won't flood the metaserver unless you list the same
metaserver more than once in the .metaservers file.  No matter what
timing values you place in the .metaservers file, the server source
(if unchanged) will force it within the limits.

Can you confirm that you have no UDP firewalling?

I see netrek.flairdata.net on the metaserver.netrek.org now.
