subject: Revival of the AMIGA Echo

Hi Allen!

05 Jun 2016 12:15, from Allen Prunty -> :

 RM>> Please stop posting this misleading information here!
 RM>> You are not the moderator of this echo, stop pretending to be one!
 AP> It hasn't been relevant to you or anyone else since November 2015 so
 AP> why is it now?

It was and is relevant to me and others.

The fact that there was no message flow does not mean that we do not care!

You would have found this out if you would have written a message here
before hijacking it!!

 AP> now it's an issue now that someone wants to restart and get this
 AP> going.

No issue at all if you want to contribute and write here.
No need to hijack the echo for that!!!!

 AP> now that someone wants to revive it why are you up in arms about it.

I have no problem with reviving.
Start contributing and writing here.

My problem is that you hijack it!

 AP> Not one thing was being done to sustain and continue this echo and now
 AP> it's an issue when someone attempts to salvage a derelict.

Indeed.
Your analysis is correct.
And not everybody agrees with your definition of a dead echo.

 AP> I was contacting her AMiga group to see what we can do to get this
 AP> going again.

But you forgot to ask here if the participants of the echo are OK with it.

 AP> You have two choices, you can stay along for the ride and try to be
 AP> constructive,

I just wanted to suggest something similar to you.

You can start contributing or go away!

You can also initiate a moderator election here.
What you cannot do is simply hijack the echo!

 AP> All you are going to do right now is cause discord in the echo, chase
 AP> away the fresh blood that I am working at bringing (and old faces I am
 AP> contacting to bring back) to the echo.

Why do you need to hijack the echo in order to bring new blood.

New blood is very welcome here!
Just bring them here, no need for echo hijacking!

 AP> If you want to oust me then you will need to go appeal to a
 AP> non-existant IC and get it declared international then go from there.
 AP> Please take any further comments to Netmail.

As soon as you take you "rule" postings to netmail addressed to /dev/null.

 AP> I've booted my old Amiga 1200, it still works

Same here.
The only difference my amiga is not that old.
I bought it 10 years ago ... did not have one in the day.

Works nicely with a new 128MB accelerator card and a 8GB CF card.

CU, Ricsi
