I echo what Janis says above. Leaving fidonet as a sysop has nothing to do with being the moderator of an echo. I was moderator of a major echo well before I was listed in the nodelist. The moderator of that echo more recently was never a sysop. He moderated the echo for years before he died last year. There have always been moderators who were not sysops and there will always be moderators who are not sysops in fido. Dale Shipp fido_261_1466 (at) verizon (dot) net (1:261/1466) ....
