 The acceptance is the key. And even you cannot deny the echo was
 dead, and unlisted, and I revived it.

 However, if someone is believed by *EVERYONE* using the echo,
 then for a person to claim to be the moderator is *NOT* a lie.

 BA> CLAIM.  That he tried to list it in his own name is a fact,

 Which has zero to do with the above. Esp since even the person
 *YOU* call the real moderator accepted me as the moderator.

 Yet you and everyone else, including Earl Croasmun and Ross
 Cassell accepted me as the moderator.

 Final proof of which is that the two of them tried to take over
 my echos when the echo robot had a glitch and delisted them. If
 they did not accept me as moderator then that attempt would have
 been moot.

 The fact that when the robot was fixed I was relisted as
 moderator, and everyone, including them and you, accepted me as
 moderator is sufficient to prove my honesty in this entire
 episode.
