Subj : Remove To : BOBBY QUEEN From : Ross Cassell Date : Sat Sep 29 2001 09:04 am Hello BOBBY! 29 Sep 01 15:45, you wrote to JACK YATES: JY>> Bobby: Why are you removing an active echo from distribution? BQ> First the echo had been DEAD and had already been removed from the Z1B BQ> backbone. Who the hell cares whats removed from the Z1B, you yourself know that what was removed from that bone, a few were in error, JDSSOFT was one example. You need think outside of the box there Bobby, the Z1B is not the end all be all of the world and never will be, the same can be said for any other entity but right now, we are talking about you? Do not place yourself as the sole arbitor of echoes as to you thinking you are in a position to be the only one to decide which echoes stay and which echoes dont, I have lost count of how many times your echo rescuing techniques have landed you in deep caakaa. Like I have said prior, some of your recent actions down deep had to be done, but on the surface give the appearance of you "interfering" and not having a geniune concern. You didnt list them 50 some odd echoes for no other reason than to tell others what to do. Perhaps its time the rules to change since you have found a way to abuse the system? Perhaps when someone like yourself rescues an echotag and was not the prior moderator, the rescuer should not be able to request its removal for 90 days until the new moderator can show something far above just be shown in the latest echolist? Perhaps use that 90 days to try to drum up support for the echo? You didnt list these echoes for no other reason than to tell the NAB and their downlinks what to do according to Bobby? I think I am gonna push for this rule change. The rest of your explaination made some sense but I am referncing more than this particular echo at this point. == Ross http://www.the-estar.com:8080 ross@the-estar.com or rcassell@home.com ICQ = 5305939 ....
