   if it were removed from the current links via the various backbones that carry   
   it, yes, it would be cut off and no traffic would flow... at most would be   
   private little separated islands... maybe confined to individual systems or   
   possible clusters of interconnected systems...

   really? it hasn't been in all this time... it is only recently that anything   
   close to moderation has been seen as desired...

   those are pretty close to those i post, aren't they?? i certainly don't want   
   to and never have tried to act like ""daddy in charge""... if you want the   
   task and can maintain the echolisting, contact me in private and we can go   
   from there... otherwise, perhaps we should maybe hold an election or   
   something? that hasn't been mentioned but i am not against to it...
