My post was aimed as the overly officious RC - not at you. He and the
schoolyard bullies have made a project of denigrating Wayne, Ross Sauer and Dan
Ceppa for some time. 

Now, Wayne may be a dick - but, since when is that a detriment in FIDO? The big
problem is that the schoolyard bullies tend to be lock-stepping right-wingnuts
who do not want to tolerate even a hint of non-Stalinist thought.

AFAIK there are no rules for echomail except what the moderator of each echo
has posted. And no rules about taking things to netmail and not posting in the
open echo - unless the moderator has listed such in his rules postings.

That's because RC took him to task here ... where his post that RC was
lambasting him for was legit.

 RW> implied pretty directly that ROss violated some rules of echomail
 RW> distribution.  Hence my questions to him.

Ahhhhh, as noted above, there are no rules except those promulgated by the
moderator of the individual echo.

BTW - has anyone heard from Dan? I haven't seen or heard anything from him for
some months.

ENJOY!!!
