Is this going to be an election where the members of the echo vote
or is it going to be an election for to you to pick who you want to
run the echo.  I ask this because of the past couple messages that I
have seen from Bud referring to a private inquiry from you in which
he responds, "YES!" and them makes a mad effort to get netmail
working. Reading between the lines this would indicate a choice
MIGHT have already been made.
If it is to be an election of our peers in the echo, then I would
like to put my name on the list. I would choose Roger Cravens as my
Assistant Moderator, since he has done more for everyone in this
echo than anyone that I know of. This is assuming, of course, that
he would accept such an offer.
take care,
Martin
