I would like to, but it seems you get judged by yourself personally, not
the quality of people who post from it.  I consider the fact that a
humungous proportion of the technical echo messages come from this board
mean that it should get priority treatment.  The fact is I am flat out just
trying to get a new echo added (hello Rod, Anthony, David).  When my status
gets raised a bit (dunno how), maybe I'll have more favourable treatment. 
Until then, if you just keep picking your mail up at <0640, you
shouldn't notice the difference!  BFN.
