If that was the "real issue," then you were annoyed by the
existence of his private-distributed echo of that name, not just the
listing of it. Would this call for a rule that says that no echoes shall
have annoying names?

My guess is that Roy may have been annoyed when the echo named
"WITTLESS" was created years ago, but I do not know if he whined
to the list keeper to strike it. And in fact in the matter you are
discussing Roy later commented that "Had Vlist asked the person who
listed it to remove it, rather than attempt to get it removed by
threatening the EK, it may not have remained listed."
