go right ahead... since they're ""dead"" echos, no one is using them anyway so
you should have a very easy time motivating them ;)

this moderator doesn't crave any attention and he never has... besides no one
asked for your input in this echo anyway and most every time you interact with
me any more it is solely to whine and cry about me or my echos... grow up and
present a good and decent image for your daughter to follow instead of a petty
and vindictive one...
