about "Moderator" :

 TF>> I am thinking of quitting NZ_FIDONET as Moderator of this Echo.

 MM> Not the best of thoughts, methinks....

In fact, PERISH the thought!


 TF>> This is as I am fairly busy work wise and I don't get to see

 TF>> it were.

 MM> Neither of these carry weight with today's Fidonet, matey...

 TF>> I often want to reply to messages but feel I would

 MM> And it has been so,  excellently well done !

 TF>> I can carry on the way I am.

 MM> Wonderful...

 TF>> SO.... Are you happy the way things are?

 MM> Yes, indeed  -  apart from the lack of traffic (and that has

 MM> Overall,  Tony,  much praise be upon your head for the way this
 MM> echo has turned out over your tenure - please carry on exactly as
 MM> you are...


For what weight my opinion carries, I concur.


Regards,

        Nicolaas
