Todd> On another subject next time you see a service member in church a bar or on the street say thanks. Sometimes that is worth a years pay when said in sincerity.

Frank> And in sincerity. Thanks!

If I may... This should be heeded by all Nations. Although we, the civilian, may not understand or agree with the politics and such, the dedication and bravery of any Nation's military men and women should be appreciated. They do a job that many, myself included, would find hard, if not impossible, to do. No, we may not always understand or agree with the politics of the Countries or Nations, but that doesn't change the dedication of the people that put their life on the line for their Country/Nation!

Regards,

Frank

Frank> Which means nothing since Ross is the elisted Moderator, which means nothing since the elist isn't universally accepted as the list of echos and moderators in Fidonet, which means nothing to those that do accept the elist as the means to determine the moderator of an echo, which means nothing to those that don't which means nothing because Ross is the elisted moderator of the echo.

Phil> Did the top levels of the Z1B agree to this supposed election they never heard of that consolidated the Z1B with the NAB? I think not, since a 5-0 vote removing him as moderator of Z1_DISCUSSION was surely not in his favor...

Phil> I think what Thom is getting at is that the Z1_DISCUSSION echo is not just any chit chat echo, but is of an administrative nature to the Z1B... he can be said to have removed himself of any affiliation with it when he left the Z1B... Ross can no more remove that echo from the ELIST any more than the FidoNews echo, or Z1COORD echo could be removed.

Ross tried to wrap it up in a neat little package, but he failed.

This whole mess is about as corrupt as it can get.
