TR> This is too rich. First, they are all complaining about nobody wanting to
TR> "debate" them.


EH>They have no idea what debate is.


Their real intent is not "debate".


EH>It is their fault that this echo is almost dead.


If I were to thumb back through my .qwk packet archives (I've got over four
thousand of them), You could see several of them openly expressing the *real*
intentions they have here;


In many packets this echo's participants are few. And they post their desire
to each other for some Christian to come along they can rip up one side and
down the other.


In the recent past, a Christian who saw this echo in the list and, thinking it
was a Christian echo he came in.


The attacks on him were immediate.


While he was here, this echo had more traffic in a few days than it had in a
couple of years. In the last few days that we've been in here,I saw more than
fifty messages fo the first time in years.


When you and I stop answering these people and go back out, it'll die down
again.
