22 Aug 95 10:50, Rick Lembree was yackin' to Ian Macaulay and said:
 RL> Creating an RC for sale echo is just redundant and since there is

I wasn't trying to take a shot, I just figured he was getting a bad rap for 
trying something new. Everybody was giving him the raz about wanting to be a 
moderator and I believed he was sincrerly trying to be helpful. Nevermind the 
topic is closed now.
 RL> You didn't look hard... Whirlybirds has been on the backbone for
 RL> a long time. Yep, your loss.
Yeh I looked when you first cut over and a few times after when you popped 
back to advertise. Never was on the list over here (that I saw). I will try 
again this weekend because I still have my unflown (by me) Hyrobi hanging 
from the rafters.
 IM>> 2) Doesn't fido check for traffic before letting the locals
 IM>> expand?
 RL> Yes. Or at the time Whirlybirds came about, they did. What's the
 RL> point? _ / )
I guess the point was that if the start was attempted and there wasn't a call 
for it then it would die down by itself. Fido would do the kill.
