Yah I know whom you speak of, and can understand.  Others may not have your 
reasons though, and its those I don't understand when I say I can't see what 
they get out of it.

RC> So when I decide to retire an echo, I want it to stay that way. 

Yah, I understand.  when I should, if I should decide I can no longer be part 
of fidonet, leave I would hope somebody else would take over either echo I have 
listed.

btw never have seen that response to netmail I sent you.  DOn't know where 
abouts in limbo land it went <g>.

I think what you've done with this audit and the new addition to backbone file 
distribution is a plus for fidonet. We're about quality rather than quantity 
imho <g>.

Regards,
           Richard
