I wouldn't bother.  It was four years ago and neither you or Marc have kept
your word.  The sad, but funny part is that I wouldn't run again if asked.  I
don't think I could stand the interference again and I really don't believe
anyone is interested anymore, thanks to the aforementioned interference.  It is
difficult to believe that 3 or 4 SysOps spoke for the entire region.  It flies
in the face of what's right.  Didn't it strike you that way?

And did you get his okay?

I'd rethink that if I were you.

That's a laugh.  No one will see any posts in the echo.

I'm really at a loss to understand why you allow a node from outside our region
to remain as the RC and deny access to the R19SYSOP echo to anyone he deems
unworthy.  Maybe nobody cares, really, but allowing that to happen isn't the
right thing to do.  I can only say I would not allow that to happen.
