Irrelevant, the echolist and how it gets viewed goes beyond the scope of how
Roy, Klahn, Lofaso view it personally.

Remember this, something is always your friend until it becomes either a
hindrance to ones agenda or outright enemy. Therefore the echolist can be seen
by others in the same fashion.

In the case of all-politics, the difference is that what Klahn *HAD* listed
were variants based on a underscore and a space, not the boned one, containing
a hyphen. I do not personally read the echolist on a daily basis and use it
only as a matter of reference, especially since I am the one who maintains the
backbone files. But I did assume that Klahn had his bases covered in the
echolist dept, up until it was pointed out to me.

Had this echo for all this time til present, not been in the echolist, there
could be made a strong case *for* Klahn. But there is a paper trail and
existing record that shows that Klahn is not the listed moderator of record.

For purposes of the North American Backbone, Bob Klahn is *not* the moderator
of record for ALL-POLITICS, he would be for ALL_POLITICS, should he make a
formal request for the backbone to transport it. However I would hope he would
spare people the confusion by not doing so, being that he has since retooled
another echo (CONTROVERIAL) to do for him what he was using ALL-POLITICS for.
It was a pain in the ass when we had identical sets of echoes for MACS with a
hypen and a underscore were the only distinction other than one tin pot
moderator was replaced by another.

Furthermore Klahn had been making the case that "well you recognized me as
moderator for x months".... BULLSHIT defense.. If a person put on the uniform
of a beat cop on main street and seemingly performed the duties of one and had
all the store owners convinced, when the deception is discovered, that doesnt
make the impersonator a real cop because everyone initially believed him to be
one.

Now do I believe Klahn set out to deliberately deceive, probably not, but the
lack of follow-up on his part, is in fact his own failing and said failure
cannot be assigned to someone else..

With the repurposing of another echo, it would seem that Klahn has resolved
the issue and dealt with any future technicalities.

He only wanted an echo to get the last word in on messages originating from
areas he and perhaps others are banned from. A highly suspect concept
considering that Klahn is assuming that people he would respond to will take
and read that echo.

With all this said...

It is entirely a moot point as to the did not/did to or he said this/he didnt
say this part of the argument, spilt milk, water under the bridge, and all
that stuff.

Everyone has until SUNDAY 01/23/11 23:59 hours to get this out of their
systems before it becomes off topic here, we will also know who goes to the
super bowl by that time.
