* An ongoing debate between Dale Shipp and Ben Ritchey rages on ...

 DS { It used to be that the Echolist was open to all nets and was not just
 DS { a fidonet thing.  Are you now making that restriction as a new thing?

LOL, I don't recall ever saying that {shrug} per se, BUT the new EList v4 
software is being written by a member of FIDONet with feedback from other 
FIDONet members, so I am terming it the FIDONet Echolist. There are NO private 
nets in the current echolist though they are more than welcome to participate. 
FIDONet, to me, encompasses ALL FTN type networks, which includes private nets.

Relax dude, nobody is being excluded that I can see.
