   It hasn't been relevant to you or anyone else since November 2015 so why is it   
   now?  The echo was effectively Dead... now it's an issue now that someone wants   
   to restart and get this going.  A derelict ship found floating at sea can be   
   salvaged by whomever comes upon it.  This echo was floating dead in cyberspace   
   now that someone wants to revive it why are you up in arms about it.  Not one   
   thing was being done to sustain and continue this echo and now it's an issue   
   when someone attempts to salvage a derelict.   
      
   It has hit me like a load of bricks to find out that Asha has passed away.  She   
   was a very dear friend of mine back in the day.  I was contacting her AMiga   
   group to see what we can do to get this going again.  The Amiga Society of   
   Kentucky (ASK) is still alive and well.   
      
   I know -very- well the history of the echo as I was there in the early 1990s   
   when it was formed.  BY echopol1 there is no moderator here, there was no   
   "host" system there were no rules posted.  Since this is an "international"   
   issue at this point according to echopol1 this echo has to be declared an   
   international echo.  Since there is no IC sitting currently and there isn't any   
   records other than the past two moderators being Zone 1, the jurisdiction   
   according to the ECHOPOL1 falls within the Zone one Echomail Coordinator who   
   recognizes the ELIST.  This echo was unowned, informal, ad-hoc at best.  No   
   rules have been posted in a very long time... I have messages dating back to   
   2011 and they are VERY few... no one has ever mention moderatorship at all.   
      
   If you want this to be declared an international echo then we need to seat an   
   IC... legitimize this as an international echo, as we have plenty of past   
   records in Zone1 (because we have an echolist... what record repository do you   
   have in Zone2) and follow all your steps as outlined in ECHOPOL1 to bring it to   
   your standards.  Or we can handle it the way that it's been handled in Zone1   
   since the creation of the Amiga echo.   
      
   You have two choices, you can stay along for the ride and try to be   
   constructive, building up the Amiga echo... and honoring Asha's memory (if you   
   even knew or remembered her) or you can simply disconnect from the echo and   
   start your own Zone2 Amiga echo, which is senseless.  We are far much stronger   
   together than separate.  I believe strongly that when push comes to shove we   
   are all here because of the Commodore Amiga now who is the moderator.   
      
   All you are going to do right now is cause discord in the echo, chase away the   
   fresh blood that I am working at bringing (and old faces I am contacting to   
   bring back) to the echo.   
      
   If you want to oust me then you will need to go appeal to a non-existant IC and   
   get it declared international then go from there.  Please take any further   
   comments to Netmail.   
      
   I've booted my old Amiga 1200, it still works, and I'm going to be onlineing   
   over 2 GB of Amiga files in the coming weeks.  I have many DVD-ROMS burned of   
   the old LiveWire BBS's filebase that were not destroyed in my house fire years   
   ago.  Luckily they were in a safe at a family member's house off site.  I do   
   hope that you will participate and enjoy what I am trying to do for all of us.
