I think that anyone who gates a fidonet echo needs to ascertain whether or
not the moderator of the echo(es) in question allow gating.

I'm not convinced that any of the echoes I moderate should be gated if
there are not neasures taken to prevent unlimited posting to them by folks
over which the gateway operator has no control.

There is a field in the echolist description that allows moderators to
indicate whether or not they allow their echoes to be gated...and I suggest
that moderators with concerns make use of that field.  That type of useage
would allow a gateway operator to quickly ascertain whether or not they
have permission to gate the echo.
