Subj : Conference Rules To : Barb Murphy From : Bob Watson Date : Fri Feb 09 2001 11:58 am BM>Question..... BM>This is a Fidonet Backboned Echo? If so, then RIMES rules are for naught, are BM>they not? Personally, RIME has always been sort of a dictatorship, with BM>Waaaaaay too many rules. BM>Why can't they just say...."Be nice" and no foul language? BM>If this is a RIME message area, then why have it "gated" to FIDONET? BM>Just been awhile and was wondering... The answer to that is simple, it is both a Fido and a RIME echo. We are sharing resources to enhance the echo as a whole. It is a shame that is too hard for some to understand. It is a shame that it always comes down to a control issue. We work together. If there is a problem with a user (Fido or RIME), it gets delt with. So, no rules are for naught here. If you can not live with that, then I suggest you find another echo to visit. If you wish to discuss pets, then by all means, you are welcome to do so.
