     GT Power had a utility called SPOTKILL -- where you could tell the system   
   to delete messages to or from an individual, change the alias to a real name   
   (if known), or mark the message to stay local, and not echo out. Even though   
   I no longer run GT Power, I still have a majority of their utilities online.   
      
     Unlike FIDONet, the GT Power Network (especially in its heyday) would   
   have echo sponsors/moderators, like other message networks. But, the way   
   GT Power was set up, all messages would go to the sponsor/host system   
   first for moderator approval. If approved, they would be allowed to echo   
   out to the rest of the network, and to all systems that carried it.    
   Otherwise, the only system where the message would be shown was where   
   the message originated...as the moderator would've likely zapped it.   
      
     With FIDONet and other FTN (and also QWK Networks), any number of systems   
   may see the message before it gets to where the moderator is. They may be   
   able to implement "a feed cut", but unfortunately, these "twits" usually   
   try to get a workaround.
