      REPLY: 2:221/1.58@fidonet fa4e38f7       MSGID: 1:261/1466.0 622af1cc        -=> On 03-10-22 20:26, August Abolins <=-        -=> spoke to Janis Kracht about RAR Echolist Update <=-               JK> As you should know, there is no requirement to be "in"        JK> Fidonet to be a moderator.               AA> Wrt to moderatorship of an echo, perhaps that CAN be maintained         AA> with other access points, but a message of "down.. permanently"        AA> gives a different impression to many.              I echo what Janis says above. Leaving fidonet as a sysop has nothing to       do with being the moderator of an echo. I was moderator of a major echo       well before I was listed in the nodelist. The moderator of that echo       more recently was never a sysop. He moderated the echo for years before       he died last year. There have always been moderators who were not       sysops and there will always be moderators who are not sysops in fido.               Dale Shipp        fido_261_1466 (at) verizon (dot) net        (1:261/1466)                     ...
