   Here's an idea for you, Damon.  Start a new echo, naming yourself   
   as moderator.  You get to name this new echo anything you want.   
   You also get to write whatever rules you want for this new echo   
   of yours.  Nobody will question your command, as you will be   
   the commander.  Even Bob K. will acknowledge you as commander.   
      
   The one who will not be named can also do the same thing.   
      
   The question of the day is, what the hell is stopping you?   
   It certainly isn't me.  And it most certainly isn't Bob K.   
   So what is it?  Can you tell me?  Or is it that you simply   
   do not want to?   
      
   Maybe you are a newbie, and do not know how to set up a new echo.   
   That could be it.  Too embarrassed to ask how to do it, having your   
   own pride.  I understand.  Well, here's how to do it -   
      
   Announce to the world that you are creating a new echo, and   
   that you are the moderator of that new echo.  Since there is   
   no echolist (Thom LaCosta's famed echolist went kaput when   
   his computer died), all you have to do is make the announcement.   
   You can do that here, in this echo, if you like.  Or in any   
   other echo of your choice.  It doesn't matter, as all echoes   
   are equal in the eyes of FidoNet.   
      
   What is the name of your new echo again?  I didn't catch it   
   the first time around.  And you are the moderator of this new   
   echo?  Or is it the one who will not be named?  I'm not really   
   sure, given his own previous posts.   
      
   Once you decide on the name for your new echo, and with yourself   
   as moderator, all you will need to do then is to ask your sysop   
   to add the echo to FidoNet.  Or you can do it yourself if you are   
   a sysop.   
      
   See how simple that is?
