AI> 2. Once a year, as close to mid-October as practical, an election is
 AI> held for the Moderator of FN_SYSOP.  Upon completion of this
 AI> election, the former moderator turns the password for the elist
 AI> robot over to the new moderator and yields the position.  If a
 AI> moderator is unable to complete his or her term, he or she may name
 AI> a replacement to finish the term, revealing the elist password to
 AI> the replacement moderator.  Should a moderator disappear from the
 AI> conference without leaving a successor, a replacement moderator may
 AI> be chosen by the sysop participants to serve until the next regular
 AI> election.  Though the Elist Keeper may not be bound by echo
 AI> conference rules, he is specifically requested to facilitate access
 AI> to the FN_SYSOP conference listing for such a replacement moderator
 AI> in the event that the elist password is not available.

   LOL! Almost a verbatim similarity to the rules that Janis "wrote" for that
other echo. I wonder why nobody discovered the huge mistake already then.

   The above must be from the turn of the century. In 2002 a vast majority (I
even got votes from all six zones -- something that TTBOMK never had happened
before and with absolute certainty never can happen again) in FN_SYSOP voted
for the new rules that has been posted every month there since then.
