 JD> But...  you are not the moderator of this echo.

 ml> oh but i am, sir... richard webb handed this area off
 ml> to me along with several others of his echos when he
 ml> had to take a leave of absense...

 JD> That doesn't make sense.  I didn't give it to him, so it wasn't his
 JD> to give you. 

where have you been since before December 2012 at least?

my system has been posting the echo's rules since March 1st... there's not been 
one word from you or anyone else concerning them... there has been other 
traffic in the mean time...
 
how could you miss richard's post from back in December and not comment on it??

This echo once again has a moderator/caretaker who actually
participates in Fidonet.
For those of you who might have tuned in by just linking to
everything available at your uplink, here's some basic echo
guidelines for you.

THe purpose of this conference is support for the squish mail conference
processor written by Scut Dudley. 
Squish is a companion to Maximus BBS and is a full featured mail processing
package. 

MEssages posted in this conference should pertain to squish and squish related
software.  some ancillary packages such as
sqafix may have their own echoes.  THose echomail conferences may be inactive
however, so discussion of any software
which can work with squish format message bases is permitted and encouraged.
 
Usual rules of echomail etiquette apply at all times in this echomail
conference. NO  test  posts,  etc.  When  a  thread drifts  off  topic  for  
the
echo move it to an appropriate conference or to private mail.

NO widget wars  will  be  tolerated.  THis  means  operating systems, mail
processor packages and bbs software. THis does not mean that a discussion  
which
addresses  strengths  and weaknesses  of  various  pieces of software is
automatically deemed off topic however. Those with common sense  shouldn't have
to be told when the line is crossed.

Should  there be a violation of these rules it will normally be addressed in
netmail by the moderator(s) of this echomail conference. At most you will see a
post to the thread from a moderator requesting that the thread be  brought  
back
into compliance  with  these  posted  rules  and guidelines. This message  will 

be  addressed  globally  to  all.  Any  other communication   regarding  rules 
violations  or  moderation issues will be handled by netmail only. Since this 
echomail conference is only relevant to system operators and those of point
systems it is felt that netmail should  be  sufficient for  dealing  with  
other
moderation  issues.  Posters who violate conference rules and guidelines more
than  once  within  the same  thread may be subject to possible bannishment 
from
the conference.
I'd prefer not to have to go that route however.  Difficult
to enforce if somebody's intent on circumventing it, and
most reasonable folks shouldn't need it.

Gating this echomail conference outside Fidonet is not permitted.



Regards,
           Richard

the rules post my system posted is what i pulled from the echolist rules 
archive in the ELST1302 archive... i should have posted the above (cleaned up a 
bit)... i just found the above a few weeks ago in this echo on my main system 
at which time i placed the "lok" attribute on it so it would not be deleted... 
the next posting is planned to be the above (cleaned up) slightly modified...
