Rough, ain't it?  You can't dictate how the Echolist runs.

You are a master of the obvious.  I never disputed either point...simply
your assertion that the Echoloist was a Fidonet function and your snide
reference that it could be a Familynet function.

It is what it is.  If there is a problem with netmail, as there appears to
be due to a firewall issue, folks can use email.  If you choose NOT to use
email, that's your business.

The Echolist continues to function as I run it.  The author of the software
no longer supports it. 

I don't expect or welcome any response to this message from you.  I believe
we have both made our points, and beating it to death simply adds to the
noise level.
