My apologies!
I was trying to be helpful, and point out a different perspective... for I
detected a smidgen of acrimony in your missive.  Regarding the "Restriction",
I am indeed surprised that you speak this way, when it seems that you were 
the one who delivered "The Warning" on the echo, midst the echo's normal 
discussions.  Would you please be so kind as to forward me a copy of the 
echo's rules, as I have never had the occasion to see them.
Thank you for your kind reply.
