Replying to a message of BOB KLAHN to BOB ACKLEY:   
      
    BK>>>>>  No moderator name entered. No moderator identified.   
      
    RW>>>>> Perhaps if you had a Fidonet nodelist and were able to read it,   
    RW>>>>> you could then identify the moderator.   
      
    TR>>>> Klahn just made an attempt to hijack another echo and got   
    TR>>>> caught at it. He's now licking his wounds in other echoes.   
      
    BK>>>  Richardson is lying.   
      
    BA>> He's telling the absolute truth, Klahn.  Everybody that   
    BA>> witnessed your hijinks is aware of what you tried to do.   
      
    BK>  And they are aware that you are lying here. Your ignorance may   
    BK>  be correctable, but your choice to remain ignorant makes it a   
    BK>  lie.   
      
    BA>> Not to mention that Earl saved the netmails he got when   
    BA>> Thom's system notified him that somebody was trying to   
    BA>> register HIS echo is someone else's name (yours).  You   
      
    BK>  Which does not change a thing, as you would know if you were not  so   
    BK> ignorant of how Fido works.   
      
    BA>> tried the same trick some time back with POL_INC, and Earl   
    BA>> has that netmail too.  Had either echo *really* expired as   
    BA>> you claim, Thom's system would not have rejected your   
    BA>> attempt(s) to claim them.   
      
    BK>  And that is your ignorance. Thom's system works automatically,   
    BK>  the elist robot. The echo does not have to be in the last issued    
    BK> Elist to be listed, but the next one. I told you before, look  in the   
    BK> elists of the time. He was not listed as moderator. He  was listed in   
    BK> the *NEXT* elist, not the last one. And you can't  see the next elist   
    BK> until it's published.   
      
   Since that *NEXT* elist hadn't been published, how did you know the listing   
   had expired?   
      
    BK>  I checked the elist before attempting to list an echo. You   
    BK>  should check it before spouting off on what you don't know.   
      
   Let's take a big leap and assume for a moment that what you've posted here is   
   really   
   true and not one of your delusions.  Why then, did Thom's elist robot (a)   
   reject your   
   attempt to list the echo and (b) warn Earl that you were trying to steal it?    
   The only   
   answer I can think of is that the listing had *NOT* expired as you continue to   
   claim.   
      
   When the elist entry for this echo did in fact expire, Earl was able to list   
   it in his   
   name with no problem, and Alan Hess later thanked him for picking it up.   
      
   Just in case you missed this post to me:
