   Klahn is talking about the monthly report.  He knows that it is just an   
   accumulation of listings, and that an up-to-the-minute knowledge can be had   
   by simply looking at the echolist echo where updates are posted as they are   
   processed.  Or one can e-mail a query to the echolist-bot for an up-to-date   
   knowledge of what is or is not listed.  The monthly master report is just a   
   convenience.

   And that particular hijack attempt happened months after the listing, and   
   two months before it would have expired, so all of his ramblings on the   
   subject are just diversions.   
      
   But it really is amusing to see him act like he is being somehow betrayed   
   by you just because you don't follow him wilson-like in everything he says.   
    As is his history, he cannot just disagree with you.  He has to try to   
   stifle your dissent (the whole "what happened to you?" line), attack you   
   personally, and now resort to calling you a liar!
