   It's very strange to see a person from Z1 quote from echopol, because it has   
   never been ratified as a valid document from that zone.   
      
   Current reality in fidonet is different.

   It survived for more then 10 years without monthly posts, so that's not true.

   That isn't working in other areas...   
      
    AP> It shouldn't turn in to FN_SYSOP   
      
   You are doing a good job at that by keep insisting we need a moderator!

   You put way too much importance into the NAB. It only plays a minor part in   
   world wide echomail distribution.   
      
    AP> and do the monthly echo rules to keep a "heartbeat" going in the echo.   
      
   You can send a monthly heartbeat message without being the moderator or it   
   being rules!   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
