   i definitely remember gord's name... what i remember about that situation was   
   that someone had the echo and was posting the FAQ... they disappeared and   
   someone else took over but they didn't have the FAQ... i sent it to them...   
   now we have what is a similar situation... i just don't recall if it was gord   
   that i sent the FAQ to or not...   
      
    ml>> as for "the job", which one? the one of moderator or the one of   
    ml>> posting the FAQ (if the FAQ still exists somewhere)?

   if the echo is archived over on ozzmosis, they may have a copy, too...

   YUP! it was gord that got the echo relisted in the echolist back in 2002/2003   
   and took over the moderatorship... he posted the 12 post primer from then   
   until Mar 2011... richard webb took over the echo in Jun 2011... in his rules,   
   he posted this link to the COMM primer which is the FAQ, IIUC...

   it looks like dallas took over moderatorship Sep 2014 and started posting the   
   rules with MSGPOST... this was after richard left fidonet and handed all of   
   his echos over to others... dallas and i were benefecieries as was another   
   couple of folks...
