    BA>>> tried the same trick some time back with POL_INC, and Earl   
    BA>>> has that netmail too.  Had either echo *really* expired as

    BK>>  And that is your ignorance. Thom's system works automatically,

    BA> Since that *NEXT* elist hadn't been published, how did you   
    BA> know the listing had expired?   
      
    Because it was not in the *LAST* elist.   
      
    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.   
      
    BA> Let's take a big leap and assume for a moment that what   
    BA> you've posted here is really   
    BA> true and not one of your delusions.  Why then, did Thom's   
    BA> elist robot (a) reject your   
    BA> attempt to list the echo and (b) warn Earl that you were   
    BA> trying to steal it? The only   
    BA> answer I can think of is that the listing had *NOT* expired   
    BA> as you continue to claim.   
      
    Try to think. You used to be able to do that. He relisted it   
    *BETWEEN* elist releases. So the elist that was in distribution   
    showed it had expired. The Robot does not read that, but it's   
    own records.   
      
    BA> When the elist entry for this echo did in fact expire, Earl   
    BA> was able to list it in his   
    BA> name with no problem, and Alan Hess later thanked him for   
    BA> picking it up.   
      
    And just how do you know that? Oh, and why did he twist the   
    rules so badly, if he picked it up for Alan?   
      
    BA> Just in case you missed this post to me:   
      
    Since it would be in a just downloaded packet, I have not seen   
    it yet. I checked my emails both Fidotel and my regular home   
    email and I do not find any mod upd email in that part of Nov   
    2010 so I can't check it.   
      
    Notice that Ross did not start his game until Dec 2010. So, I   
    would have no reason to consider it before then. Reread Ross'   
    msg on that.   
      
    So, whatever happened I filed to relist *MY* echo as recognized   
    by every one including you. I was not trying to list an echo,   
    but renew my echo. If that happened.

    BA> "Warning: bob.klahn@fidotel.com, bob.klahn@sev.org,

    BA> That was sent November 12, 2010.  There was no list put out

    BA> And you claim that *I'M* lying?   
      
    Yes. And note that Earl posted one from much earlier.   
      
    And note that I did not have to check the echolist for all   
    politics since I was recognized as the moderator by everyone   
    until Ross jumped in to play his games.   
      
    At that time no one considered Earl the moderator. Not even you.
