 Don't bother.
 It doesn't achieve the intended results and only stuffs  up the pacemaker.

I agree.  Exactly why I have avoided it so far.

 Swap over to John and join the rest of the old AVT mob in Locsysop &
 LocUser.
 My next effort will be to get Rod Gasson hooked in, and we will be back
 to the old original crowd, but minus the fuckwits who invaded AVT.

 IOW ...  WE control who gets OUR echo !!!!!
and you can still hook in to any other echoes of your choosing.

When Paul gets it all sorted out, we should be able to hook his newsgroups
in if we want.

I figure it should work. Wadayareckon ?????

LATER.
Jeff's got the right idea. He's offering to gate stuff to Paul thus creating
another link that is still under OUR control.

Cheers
Niels
