  BW> ¨ Gating the conference
 BW>       It is against the rules of RIME to gate any conferences into other
 BW>       networks without first obtaining permission from Don Barba.

 BW> There are no "free speech" and no "1st amendment rights" in Rime.
 BW> RIME has a number of rules that apply throughout the entire network.

Question.....

This is a Fidonet Backboned Echo? If so, then RIMES rules are for naught, are 
they not? Personally, RIME has always been  sort of a dictatorship, with 
Waaaaaay too many rules.
Why can't they just say...."Be nice" and no foul language?

If this is a RIME message area, then why have it "gated" to FIDONET?

Just been awhile and was wondering...
