Echolisting is interesting...if one relists several echoes for any reason,
one can, and usually is, taken to task. Your statement that some of the
echoes you moderate are place holders to prevent relisting makes a lot of
sense.

There is another reason folks relist echoes...and that is when the
moderator of record disappears, and the echo falls into a state where
someone needs to step up to the plate.  I am sorely tempted to relist one
echo where I visit....at least 50 per cent of the posts are off topic, the
language is terrible and the persoanl attacks abound.

I most likely won't relist it, since it's very difficult to get feed cuts
these days, and I suspect that in doing that I'll provide more ammunition
for the Anti-Thom/Anti-Echolist Keeper folks.
