TL> The are some moderators, who for whatever reason, decide to stop

Protection of the tag.  (Keeps leeches and ner'do wells away from them)

TL>  I suppose it's the final statement of 'I don't want the echo in
TL> distribution, so I will keep the listing to insure that no one else
TL> can do with the echo what I do not desire'.

Something like that.  See below.

Which is the real reason for keeping the tag elisted long after the echo
has been deleted from distribution.  Once the echo is gone and forgotten,
the tag can go too.

While this is now a moot point and Bobby apparently did turn over the
passwords to Z1C and other echos.  I see no reason why he would have
succumbed to peer pressure when the moderator of those echos allowed the
elisting to expire in the first place.  The only party he'd be obliged to
accomodate would be the former elisted moderator.  Everyone else could go
to hell.

OTH, to publically reinforce his stated position that he rescues echos
with the intent of returning them to the elisted moderators upon request;

The act of returning these echos, in particular, would have done a lot
for his credibility - had it not been for the constant pressure of those
RCs and the NAB nerd who chided him from the beginning.

Now we'll never know if he had it in him to return the tags per his own
votary.
