You are usually more careful with facts, Bob.  It is exactly what happened.
 From Jan. 12, 2007 to July 31, 2007, it was duly listed with Roger as
moderator.  And Roger was actively participating.  I believe that Thom's
automated email expiration-warning system was malfunctioning, because Roger
did not get the routine warning before deletion.  The listing expired on
July 31.  The new monthly list was made up and propagated around fidonet. 
Klahn posted his warning about how "nasties" are coming because someone
commented in another echo that Lofaso was posting in Coffee-Klatch, and
Lofaso grabbed the echo listing on August 12.  I believe it was the SAME
DAY as Klahn's post.

You may have been misled by Klahn's twisting of the facts.  He likes to
conflate the August incident with his similar rant in the same echo in
January of 2007.  That has nothing to do with what he posted and what
Lofaso did in August.

That is what I said.  It was nine days later, after initial resistance and
after overwhelming echo reaction.

Her participation in 2009 is completely irrelevant to what she said in
2007!  I have reposted some of her comments, and won't bother doing it
again, but you have an awfully high threshold for "blistering."

~> You may just be upset that you didn't think to grab the echo

And you "may" be upset that you didn't.  I had no reason and no interest,
although both Klahn and Lofaso have tried to hijack mine.
