what makes you think that? all i said was that i've been carrying the echo
since before 2013... you and henri are the ones whining about who the moderator
is...

if it is configured as an echo, then it is an echo... that no other systems
carry does not diminish the configuration and availability...

numerous of your Z2 brethern... some more vocal than others... certainly some
who think their way is the only way and attempt to force that on others via
so-called logic...

same back to you...

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

tradition says that's incorrect...

might be... seems to be the norm for a lot of stuff in fidonet these days :(

no, that's not what i said...

exactly my point! thank you :)
