Hi Holger,

   You can't really abolish any echo area from fidonet. There will always remain   
   links that (not so active) sysops forget to remove.   
   The best thing you could accomplish is to have it removed from the echolist   
   and the backbone. That would cut of some people, but with all the (fidoweb)   
   links these day, there would probably be some traffic... But if everyone   
   posting here lately would agree to move to the WINDOWS area (or some other   
   general chat area), it would be virtually dead. But I don't think you get a   
   consensus on this. ;)

   I'm aware of that...   
      
    WV>> But what does this have to do with Win95? ;)   
      
    HG> Actually nothing but to keep the echo alive any messages are welcome!   
      
   You succeeded! ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
