    JM> 1. Do we need a moderator?    
      
   Currently I don´t think so.   
   The last moderator in this area I knew of was Asha Develder.   
      
    JM> 2. If (1)=yes, why?  Are there any Fidonet rules stipulating that every   
    JM> echo requires a moderator?   
      
   No, you can go without a moderator if you like. However, when there´s lot   
   of traffic and discussion goes heavily off-topic, a moderator can help to   
   bring the discussion back in line of the general topic.   
      
   So, maybe we don`t need a moderator, but on the other hand, it could help   
   to already have one and don´t start the process of electing a moderator   
   when problem is already here.

   I joined Fidonet again after 17 years of inactivity. The reason why I was   
   forced to shutdown my box was the y2k bug in GMS-Mailer on 2000-1-1 and me   
   being far away, not being able to investigate (and switch over to TrapDoor)   
   locally.   
      
   However, although all my Amigas are still running fine, and AmiBinkD most   
   of its time is performing well with some glitches, I decided to better run   
   my new node on my colocated server, mostly for reasons of reducing my   
   electricity bill.   
      
   Currently, my A3000 is giving me headache, because I don´t know why neither   
   the internal nor the external bus is working. Termination should be fine,   
   diode D800 delivers +5V on pin 25 of external SCSI connector as well...   
   However the SCSI bus of the WarpEngine is working...
