Hi, Roy;

 RW> You mean there are some? I was under the impression that *all* fido
 RW> echos *must* be moderated according to fido rules, however I have
 RW> never read those rules.....so I don't really know.

 RW> The only requirement is for someone to be the "moderator of record"
 RW> with the  distribution systems.  It's not a Fido requirement and no
 RW> rules are req'd.   CB_RADIO, HAM-ECHO, and AUTORACE don't have any
 RW> rules per se' that are  regularly posted.
 
(As the Mod or Co-Mod of several echos in FidoNet and 5 other nets, I say
the following): Yes, there MUST be a moderator of record, who literally
OWNS the echo.  The mod(s) can write rules for their echo, and run, (or
not run) their echo any way they see fit!  I carry one FidoNet echo,
(which shall remain nameless), that the Moderator shows up once every 6
months, just to renew the Elist listing, then dissappears back into the
woodwork, and lets the echo run itself.  Nothing is off-topic, though the
participants all act like ladies and gentlemen, and if someone misbehaves,
they find themselves moderated by any or all of the regulars.  It's a
friendly place - basically one big happy family, (most unusual in the
cyber-world!)... perhaps the name keeps out the "riff-raff."  I dunno.
But the nearest thing to rules it has is what's posted in the Elist.  But
I fear this is too far off topic, so I will now SHUT UP about it!

 RW> It's interesting to note that someone is playing with packet radio,
 RW> using 49MHz walkie talkies...:)  I can't wait to read how they
 RW> accomplished building up a  network with battery powered HT's and
 RW> rubber duck antennas. 
 
Ah!  something ON TOPIC!!!   :->
 
Very interesting!  Do you know if this was done by Hams, or talented
"Citizens"?   ;->
