Hello Mark,

 BK>>> So, I am keeping the echo open, check in once in a while, but there
 BK>>> is very little worth doing in Fidonet anymore.

 LL>> I am the official moderator of the Debate echo.

 ml> no you're not...

I'm afraid so.
And even worse, Tim Richardson is my co-pilot.
Talk about scary.

 LL>> The origin of this version is 2:203/2 - which means you are shit out
 LL>> of luck.

 ml> no, it means that ""you guys"" have crosslinked two different areas with
the
 ml> same echotag...

I made my declaration first, so I am King of the Mountain!
If another guy (or gal) wants it, he (or she) will have to
bump me off!

 ml> exactly one of the main reasons for the echolist to be created in the
first
 ml> place...

Which echolist might that be?  Yours?  Mine?  No elist
or echolist has any official status in fidonet.  And for
good reason.  Certainly a man of your intellect can see
that.

 ml> another reason was so that there was one central place to look and see
what
 ml> might be available rather than sending areafix queries all over the
 ml> place...

An official elist/echolist would make it too easy for abuse/censorship
to take place.  And the present situation of dickheads worshipping an
elist/echolist is proving that point in spades.

 LL>> But don't feel bad.  You have the distinct honor of joining Peter
 LL>> Bradie as Moderator Emeritus.

 ml> how can there be any emeritus if your version never existed before now?

My version is the origional.  All others are cheap imitations.

 ml> your sysop needs to break the link to separate the two distinct echos from
 ml> the rest...

All sysops are welcome to continue carrying this echo.

 ml> good luck with that!

Delink yourself.
