Replying to a message of BOB KLAHN to BOB ACKLEY:

 BK>>>>>  No moderator name entered. No moderator identified.

 RW>>>>> Perhaps if you had a Fidonet nodelist and were able to read it,
 RW>>>>> you could then identify the moderator.

 TR>>>> Klahn just made an attempt to hijack another echo and got
 TR>>>> caught at it. He's now licking his wounds in other echoes.

 BK>>>  Richardson is lying.

 BA>> He's telling the absolute truth, Klahn.  Everybody that
 BA>> witnessed your hijinks is aware of what you tried to do.

 BK>  And they are aware that you are lying here. Your ignorance may
 BK>  be correctable, but your choice to remain ignorant makes it a
 BK>  lie.

 BA>> Not to mention that Earl saved the netmails he got when
 BA>> Thom's system notified him that somebody was trying to
 BA>> register HIS echo is someone else's name (yours).  You

 BK>  Which does not change a thing, as you would know if you were not  so
 BK> ignorant of how Fido works.

 BA>> tried the same trick some time back with POL_INC, and Earl
 BA>> has that netmail too.  Had either echo *really* expired as
 BA>> you claim, Thom's system would not have rejected your
 BA>> attempt(s) to claim them.

 BK>  And that is your ignorance. Thom's system works automatically,
 BK>  the elist robot. The echo does not have to be in the last issued 
 BK> Elist to be listed, but the next one. I told you before, look  in the
 BK> elists of the time. He was not listed as moderator. He  was listed in
 BK> the *NEXT* elist, not the last one. And you can't  see the next elist
 BK> until it's published.

Since that *NEXT* elist hadn't been published, how did you know the listing
had expired?

 BK>  I checked the elist before attempting to list an echo. You
 BK>  should check it before spouting off on what you don't know.

Let's take a big leap and assume for a moment that what you've posted here is
really
true and not one of your delusions.  Why then, did Thom's elist robot (a)
reject your
attempt to list the echo and (b) warn Earl that you were trying to steal it? 
The only
answer I can think of is that the listing had *NOT* expired as you continue to
claim.

When the elist entry for this echo did in fact expire, Earl was able to list
it in his
name with no problem, and Alan Hess later thanked him for picking it up.

Just in case you missed this post to me:
