I've added a bit more info about echos to the tenpoint.txt
file. [later, I have also renamed tenpoint.txt to
tmljoin.txt]. Here is the update:
There are some special points you should know about echomail.
First of all, whoever starts up an echo is the moderator. And
because it is the moderator's echo, they can say who can and
who can't post messages in the echo, and in fact they can get
the entire feed cut, so that I can no longer receive the echo.
What this basically means is that the moderator of an echo has
absolute authority over it, and if the moderator says that you
are not allowed to post in an echo, then you must stop. If the
moderator tells me to stop you posting in an echo, then I will
in turn tell you to stop posting in that echo, but it is too
much hassle to set things up my end to stop you doing so.
Therefore, I will just tell you to stop posting, and if you
persist in posting there I will disconnect you completely from
my system. I personally couldn't give a rats arse what you post
in whatever echos, but when the moderator says something, it
must be done, otherwise the moderator will stop all mail going
to my system, and then EVERYONE gets affected, which isn't going
to help either of us. You can get a list of most of the echos
available in Zone 3 (Oceania/Pacific/Australasia) by FREQing
"Z3EL*.*" from me. This lists the name of the moderator of all
the echos, and any rules for joining the echo. Any echos that
are listed as "Ozlink" you should be able to get from me,
because I feed directly off an Ozlink site.
