   That would make an excuse.  Some might even buy that one.

   Yes I posted the ones pertaining to this echo I found.  The original ones I   
   found ages ago were pertaining to s supposedly sysop only echo which helped me   
   decide that a Fido node is totally meaningless and indicative of the total   
   loss of sysop contol over their 'hobby'.  I said what I thought about that   
   then and given the reaction decided I wouldn't miss my then node number.  I   
   didn't as it turned out.

   As long as users can use phoney names then it isn't an issue.  Mind you then   
   the quality of posts will suffer which time has demonstrated.  Nobody   
   appreciates their name plastered all over the place by lowlife web dweebs   
   pretending to be anarchists.  What a bunch of dorks methinks.  They can quote   
   me on that.   
      
   Life is good,
