then you are wrong... he didn't have to submit any resignation to anyone...
he asked me in email if i wanted to handle it and several other echos he
was moderating... he had already given several others to marc lewis and
dallas hinton... besides, it isn't really any of your business is it? if
richard had wanted you to know what was going on and why he left as he did,
he would have told you like he told me and a few others...

actually, it doesn't either... arnews puts in =96 which is the UTF-8 code
for the trademark symbol... i know this because my automation specifically
converts many of those codes to their DOS codepage counterparts... in this
case, "=96" becomes "(tm)"...

it isn't trying to compete with HAM or any other echo... it has no need to
compete... this isn't a race...
