   Hello Everybody,   
      
   Thom LaCosta's private elisting of FidoNet echoes is no longer   
   recognized by me as being legitimate, given his refusal to accept   
   my timely update of the CONSPRCY echo on his site.  Furthermore,   
   no other elisting by Thom LaCosta is recognized by me.   
      
   Bottom line: Thom LaCosta's private elisting is NOT ACCURATE, and   
   should be discarded as the trash it has always been.   
      
   "I send everything to Ross Cassell."

   The same applies to Ben Ritchey's private elisting.   
   And to all other private elistings.   
      
   No private elisting has any official status in fidonet.   
   And for good reason.  The current elisting/echolisting   
   that is being used/misused is terribly inaccurate, and   
   is a form of censorship.   
      
   You have no basis to make demands that I leave.   
   You have no basis to make demands that Tim Richardson leaves.   
   You have no basis to make demands that anybody else leaves.   
      
   You are not the official moderator of this echo.   
   I am.   
   And I like it that way.   
      
   Now go fish.
