Hi Holger,

On 2014-12-06 09:42:00, you wrote to me:

You can't really abolish any echo area from fidonet. There will always
remain links that (not so active) sysops forget to remove.
The best thing you could accomplish is to have it removed from the echolist
and the backbone. That would cut of some people, but with all the (fidoweb)
links these day, there would probably be some traffic... But if everyone
posting here lately would agree to move to the WINDOWS area (or some other
general chat area), it would be virtually dead. But I don't think you get a
consensus on this. ;)

 HG> Next time the sun rises above the horizon there will be in march.

I'm aware of that...

 WV>> But what does this have to do with Win95? ;)

 HG> Actually nothing but to keep the echo alive any messages are welcome!

You succeeded! ;)

Bye, Wilfred.
