On 03-02-13, LEE LOFASO said to TIM RICHARDSON:   
      
      
   LL>Hello Tim,   
      
      
   Hello Lee.   
      
      
   TR>Hmmm....seems pretty dead in here.   
      
      
   LL>That is because only the un-dead remain.   
      
      
   TR>Ok....I'll re-list the echo, be the new moderator, and post   
   TR>some new rules.   
      
      
   LL>You cannot re-list an echo that has never been de-listed.   
   LL>Since the owner of this echo (Bob Klahn) has never relinquished   
   LL>his claim of ownership, or ceded his ownership to anybody else,   
   LL>he remains sole owner (and moderator) of this echo.   
      
      
   That all seems to be in some dispute. And until I'm finished checking it out,   
   the old (repressive) rules that were the order of the day here are hereby set   
   aside and declared null and void. The new simple and far more permissive rules   
   I've posted up are hereby declared in force, until such time as the real   
   ownership of this echo has been settled to my complete satisfaction.   
      
      
   LL>You can, however, list a new echo, claim ownership, and declare   
   LL>yourself as moderator.  Why you would want to call your new echo   
   LL>by the same name as another echo is beyond me, but I'm not you.   
      
      
   No `new' echo is needed as this echo will do nicely.   
      
      
   LL>In regards to this echo (the one owned by Bob Klahn), it has   
   LL>never been de-listed by the moderator or by active participants.   
   LL>Therefore, there is no reason for any active participants (or   
   LL>lurkers) to re-list this echo.   
      
      
   The `ownership' of this echo has not been fully shown to be Klahn to my   
   complete satisfaction. And unless and until it is...Klahn `owns' nothing.   
      
      
   LL>You did mention that you have re-listed this echo, which means   
      
      
   I `mentioned' no such thing. Once again your little `reading' problem has made   
   you see things that aren't there. I never said I had `re-listed' this echo. I   
   said I was checking on whether or not it IS a listed echo. Do keep up.   
      
      
   TR>Might as well post the new rules in advance.   
      
      
   LL>Wow!  A sneak preview of what set of rules you would like   
   LL>participants to play by!  That could be interesting ...   
      
      
   TR>Rule number one: No threats of physical violence allowed.   
      
   LL>What a relief!  No more bullying by the sheriff and his gang on   
   LL>The Walking Dead!   
      
      
   TR>Rule number two: No `sounding' on family members of other users   
   TR>allowed.   
      
      
   LL>Cajuns never cry over spilled milk, preferring their own special brew.   
      
      
   TR>Rule number three: When opinion exchanges heat up a little...always   
   TR>remember rule numbers one and two.   
      
      
   LL>Rule #1: No bullying.   
      
      
   LL>Rule #2: No crying over spilled milk.   
      
      
   LL>Sounds like our governor.  No rules for himself, only for others.   
      
      
   Or...more like the person who `claims' they are moderator in here...no rules   
   for himself...only for others.   
      
      
   TR>Oh and.....Wayne Chirnside, Danny Ceppa, and Mark (fuckin') Lewis,   
   TR>are permanently banned from this echo.   
      
      
   LL>Wayne Chirnside is really Ed Koon and can do whatever the hell he   
   LL>wants.   
      
      
   He can't evade arrest while riding a motorcycle from Japan. A Florida cop   
   proven that to him nicely.   
      
      
   LL>Danny Ceppa has left the building, and is now a member of the   
   LL>Israeli Knesset, plotting another war against the Arabs, which he seems   
   LL>to have gotten confused with the Persians.   
      
      
   Here's hoping (raising glass) he's accidently walking across `ground zero' the   
   very moment a Hezbolla Scud arrives, and he learns the answer to *THE GREAT   
   MYSTERY* before all the rest of us do.   
      
      
   LL>Mark Lewis has been having   
   LL>far too much fun performing stand-up comedy in London, Bristol and   
   LL>Cardiff to bother participating in this forum.   
      
      
   If Mark Lewis does stand-up comedy for a living...he'll starve.   
      
      
   TR>All other users are welcome to post in here subject to following   
   TR>the rules.   
      
      
   LL>Well, as long as Richard Helm does not come back from the dead ...   
      
      
   TR>Tim (the new moderator) Richardson   
      
      
   LL>Pull my finger.   
      
      
   Wait! (Hey...Otto! ...over here....Lee's got a job for you!)
