Hello Dale!

->  CC> I am creating a WIN2000_BBS echo.  For the time being, not 
-> realizing                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^pLEASE LET me know 
-> when it gets on the backbone......it has my support/nomination or 
-> whatever.

Looking over the past history of echos in Fidonet and talking to several
people who have been in Fidonet longer than myself, I felt it was better
to change the description of the echo to allow a broader range of topics
in this very conference.

Instead of creating a WIN2000_BBS echo which may have contained a lot of
traffic, I would have been taking a chance that WIN2000 traffic would
die off and then we'd loose this echo on the backbone, so therefore, I 
opened this echo up to the following rules & descriptions:

-!------- < Quoted form WIN2000 Rules posted 8/26/00 > -----------

 The WIN2000 - Windows 2000 Support Echo is a community
 environment for all Windows users, programmers, and operators
 who are looking for Technical assistance, information, and
 the convergence of Win95-based and NT-based operating
 systems with Windows 2000.

 We do provide discussions on anything that is Windows 2000
 related whether it be BBS questions, compatibility issues,
 or just wanting to discuss the functionality of the operating
 system.  We realize this product is still new and in many
 areas, may not be territory that we're all familar with so
 therefore this echo is to allow anyone who has any questions
 which are directly or indirectly related to Windows 2000 to
 proposes those questions and get their desired responses that
 which they need.

 Currently, this conference is available to all persons even
 if they are programmers, developers, users, or operators of
 Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 machines.  The Moderator retains
 the right to close to Conference to SysOps or specific groups
 of individuals without prior notice.

 As moderator, I ask that all SysOps try to monitor messages
 published here by their clients/callers for related topic
 material that pertains to this conferences purpose.

-!------------------- < End Quoted Message > ---------------------

So unless due to very very high volumed traffic in this echo, I won't be
openning that conference as of yet; however that isn't to say it won't be
opened in the future.  The traffic in this echo will determine that :)
