c_echo



Hello Roger - 

--8<--cut 

RS> One great side effect of posting bad information in the c

No, there is nothing 'great' about misinformation.

RS> It seemed obvious that Tom had taken the lead role as

No, not even close. Tom Torfs has been the MODERATOR here for
some time now. 

RS> A search on Google returns his C Echo web site and his name

Your eulogy for Tom is a bit premature. I see no reason to turn
over the c_echo to people who have been away for a decade. You
presume too much.

I note the "agreed in principle" and would like to hear Tom's
thoughts on this topic. So far it's all smoke-n-mirrors from
people who have no more control over this echo than I do (none).

RS> Great! If there is anything I can do to help just say the

Here's a unique idea. Why don't you and Bob start your own
independent C programming elist and find out if anyone wants to
join rather than cloak it as a FIDO elist when it really has
nothing to do with FIDO at all?
