This used to be a pretty lively echo. It was begun as a `flame' echo,
and it got pretty hot in here.

Along came Ross Cassell.

Cassell has been `collecting' moderatorship of echoes for a long time,
now. And each time he `grabs' the moderatorship of an echo, two things
happen; 

He changes the entire motif of the echo with a bunch of new rules, which
have nothing to do with the echo's original purpose;

And almost immediately the echo goes dead, except for an occasional posting
by Cassell of his `rules'.

It happened to this echo, the `Holysmoke' echo, and most every other one
Cassell has taken over. Its dead in here because Cassell killed it.
