 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.

First:  The echo doesn't look dead to me.

Second:  The Z1B does not configure my tosser.  Get that idea out of your head
right now.


 BQ> The former moderators had let this echo drop 18 months
 BQ> before I relisted it.

You relisted it in August; why?  For no other purpose than to kill it?

 BQ> The folks using the echo were just trying to
 BQ> keep messages going till it could be revived and did not even live in
 BQ> Mexico by the way.

Was it a requirement for the participants to live in Mexico?   What about the
Mexicans living in the US?


 BQ> But I was informed that there are no longer ANY nodes in Mexico.

See the above.


 BQ> In
 BQ> fact the RC of Mexico finally gave up.  And the participants were all
 BQ> told to move to LATINO or LATINO.SYSOP by the person who then
 BQ> contacted me to tell me to delete the echo since it was no longer
 BQ> needed.

Now, finally, you are almost making sense.


 BQ> If you carry the echo then you saw the message posted there
 BQ> on 9/19 explaining this and I got a NetMail the same day telling me
 BQ> what was going on and that it could now be deleted.

I read it, the English part.  Can't read Portuguese other than to tell that it
isn't Spanish.


 BQ> But essentially it was merged into LATINO and LATINO.SYSOP since the
 BQ> folks were directed there 10 days ago.

Then, coupled with Renato's translation of his message, I have the answer to my
question.
