..What fidonet policy defines what a "user-owned" echo is?

..For the sake of arguement, one could say that all users own all echoes

..running off everyone else.

..The users "own" the echo via an election that is held once a year at
..the same time.  If the users do not like the moderator, they vote him
..or her out.  If the users desire a change of policy, they petition the
..moderator, and if the moderator does not institute that change, they
..vote him out and for someone in who will.  It is that simple.
..
..What part of that do you not understand?
..
..What is even worse is that the election was one week from start!
