By monitoring the echo.

The address he had provided before was no longer in the nodelist. So no
netmail.

 >  MvdV> and had dissappeared from the nodelist.

 > one doesn't need to be in the nodelist to be a moderator...

I know that. In this case however the moderator was a sysop and presented with
node number in every communication.

 >  MvdV> He did not emerge as a user on another system either.

He was not "here" at the time.

It is not part of the fact that he was absent.

Witnesses are questioned to get to the facts, not opinions.

No.

Correction: by most distribution systems in Z1. The distribution systems in the
rest of the world would not have been affected.

I would have provided other means for the nodes in Z1 that wanted the echo.

I waited until the required minimum period for posting of rules had expered and
i waited until the previous moderator dropped from the nodelist and became
uncontactable.

No, it is not. "wrest control" implies foul play, something that goes against
the rules. What I did whas 100% in accordance with the rules applicable to me.

Then what was the problem?

A databasa that list a noden umber that is no longer in the nodelist is
obviously inaccurate.

 >  >> and you did not have the password.

 >  MvdV> I do not need the password if I do not wish to use the system.

I had no such wish.

 >  MvdV> I was not interested in listing the echo.

With the listing? Nothing.

I wish you people would get your act together regarding this "moderator choice"
thing. When I say echolist <name of criminal organisation of Sicilian origin>
people tell me I am wrong, that there is no pressure and that moderators are
free to use the services of the echolist system or not.

But now that I express the wish not to use the services of the echolist, you
tell met that will disrupt the echo. So where is the free choice then?

It would appear to me that moderators are as free to decline using the echolist
system as the citizens of Iraq were free to decline voting for Saddam under his
reign.


Cheers, Michiel
