   Actually, there aren't supposed to be any 'robotic' posts in this echo or   
   any others for various reasons. Some moderators allow this, while some   
   moderators don't.   
      
   How much interest would there be in, EU, NZ or anywhere else in the world   
   for U.S callsign updates, especially when those are a daily event that can   
   be found elsewhere.   
      
   Basically, this echo is a 'discussion' echo for everyone to enjoy or   
   ignore as they see fit.   
      
   So, a month or so back, there was traffic in this echo that followed the   
   latter and none of the wall-hangers jumped in. For lack of interest? For   
   reasons known only to them.   
      
   Anyway, I'm reluctant to post any rules for this echo and you may not   
   like that, but there are rules available, which are posted on occasion in   
   the HAM echo.   
      
   Those rules specifically apply to the HAM echo, but are only a guide-line   
   for this one.   
      
   So, if you have a topic pertaining to Amateur Radio that you would like   
   to discuss or ask questions about, have at it. All that is required of   
   anyone here is to act your age and enjoy the echo.   
      
      
       Have a day!
