Ärende: This echo...
====================
Hello SHANNON!

Not wanting to incite Roy.

But the Z1B had a SLA and Dale Ross and David Calafrancesco were as high on it
as Souvestre was, even after John left.


 ST> I was "the" bridge mail hub for Z1 <-> Z4 when John brought up his FTP
 ST> server and this kind of became an issue.  I was carrying some Asian &
 ST> European echos at the time and was building the Z2 / Z6 <-> Z4 bridge
 ST> when I left. The conversations I participated in indicated that it was
 ST> not an issue with most mail movers, as most mail movers just -- very
 ST> simply -- wanted to move Mail.  John was ate up with with politics of
 ST> Fidonet, and things were -- more or less -- his way or not at all.
 ST> "John" was the only T1 Z1B that actually 'mandated it' while others
 ST> carried echos that weren't Elisted.  Basically, it boiled down to a
 ST> "John" issue in as much as all of the echos he carried were Elisted,
 ST> or he didn't carry them (with few exceptions).

 ST> I understood his logic -- he wanted a structured echo list with
 ST> moderators. For John, everything had to have "Structure". But, he
 ST> failed to realize that Fidonet is a hobby, not a stringently
 ST> structured organization.

 ST> It was because of "John" that our bridges between Z4 & the rest of the
 ST> world began to fall apart (but that's another story).  If it wasn't
 ST> for Louis Oaken (old Sunshine.com), Centam & Southam would never have
 ST> been able to maintain Mexican link.

 ST> In response to Paul's statement, it was the "Souvestry" group who
 ST> began some level of mandating elists, but not all mail movers as he
 ST> inferred.  Hell -- planet connect damn sure didn't care.. <g>

 ST> Shannon


 PS>>> people who wanted thier echo areas distributed in Z1 they were
 PS>>> to that it had to be listed in the 'elist' or the mail hubs
 PS>>> would no carry the echo area.

 RC>> You were once part of the Z1B, even after John Souvestre left?
