i've been carrying the area for longer than that ;)

i like spam... it makes a good sandwich!

 KR> How could you

because i've been here for a long time?

 ml>> the echo was started by its moderator

 KR> tell that then? A single person can't start an echo, you need two at

nope... i can easily start a new message area and make it available for others
to pull from my system... once i made the area and put it in my tosser as
available to others, it became an echo... think about it, eh? ;)

 KR> Anytwo can start an echo, but to make it an official fidonet echo, it

nope, sorry...

 KR> which is job of the *EC as far as i know.

that is incorrect...

well, since i'm a NEC, i guess that makes me the moderator! ;) ;) ;)

 KR> Fidonet is more than Zone 1 and no, it is not always that way.

you guys are funny... on the one hand you don't want things to change but on
the other, you're doing everything you can to change them..

 KR> My way today is that i don't want to waste my time with that

me either...

 KR> We do not need a moderator with that low traffic these days.

says who?

 KR> And we do not need to get spammed by a rules bot here.

you sohuld try fried spam... it is pretty good :)
