Hi Folks,   
      
      
   I know except for an echo info posting regularly this has   
   been rather quiet.  But, here's one for us to chew on.   
      
   Lately we've seen discussion elsewhere about folks having   
   access to an echo who are restricted from access by the   
   moderator.  YEs we know, echomail is by and large a public   
   thing.   
      
   I find it almost difficult at times to promulgate reasonable rules for an echo   
   without being too verbose, or leaving   
   important items out.  Such as the usual restrictions on   
   gating, etc.   
      
   As I read the rules of the echo under discussion, I note   
   that it's implied that access is restricted to certain   
   individuals but nowhere is it stated explicitly that the   
   echo may not be made publicly available on a read-only   
   basis.   
      
   Thoughts anyone?   
      
      
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
