   Hi Alan!   
      
   16 May 2020 15:22, from Alan Ianson -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    >>> To hijack something means to take it by force.   
    >> He unilaterally claimed to be the moderator.   
    >> Without consulting the active members here.   
    AI> He was the elisted moderator.   
      
   The Elist is a private plaything of a very small number of nodes.   
   It has NO MEANING to fidonet, apart that those small number of nodes use it as   
   a listing of echos _THEY_ distribute.   
   Which is their good right, but it does not mean anything to anybody outside of   
   those small number of nodes.   
      
   In other words it has exactly the same meaning as if I create a textfile in my   
   /var/www/html directory where I claim to be moderator of this echo.   
      
    >> You can read the story back here in the echo.   
    AI> I was here at the time. I don't want to go back and look at it again.   
      
   I was here as well, and it did not go down with me and others at all that he   
   hijacked this echo without consulting BEFORE in the echo, where he had access,   
   as he was able to post his new "rules".
