   Hello Everybody,   
      
   As I have mentioned in this echo, as well as in other echoes,   
   the participants own the echo (and all Fidonet echoes). As such,   
   it is participants themselves who set whatever rules to play by.   
   Hence the need for only two main rules to be stated, as noted   
   in The Rules.   
      
   Addendum to The Rules, as posted, showing original rules   
   from 2015 as reference -

    in the rules in order to bring order to this echo if the case arises.
