   then you are wrong... he didn't have to submit any resignation to anyone... he   
   asked me in email if i wanted to handle it and several other echos he was   
   moderating... he had already given several others to marc lewis and dallas   
   hinton... besides, it isn't really any of your business is it? if richard had   
   wanted you to know what was going on and why he left as he did, he would have   
   told you like he told me and a few others...

   actually, it doesn't either... arnews puts in =96 which is the UTF-8 code for   
   the trademark symbol... i know this because my automation specifically   
   converts many of those codes to their DOS codepage counterparts... in this   
   case, "=96" becomes "(tm)"...

   it isn't trying to compete with HAM or any other echo... it has no need to   
   compete... this isn't a race...
