Hello Michiel,

 DD>> You did not perform the "access prevention"? You relied on others to
 DD>> do that.

 DD>> What if that kowtowed sysop declined your "request"?

 DD>> Or the user jumped to another system - perhaps a web accessible system
 DD>> in another jurisdiction, one who doesn't recognise your omnipotence?

 MvdV> Isn't that what Lee Lofaso did?

First of all, Björn Felten has invited all who wish
to participate in this echo the freedom to read and write
messages - not just read-only access.  Whether from his
own board, or from the board of other sysops, regardless
of geographic location.

Now for rant -

I was not the only one.
And I did it from multiple boards outside of zone 1.
I also did it from a few boards inside of zone 1.

It seems some folks took notice.
Wayne Chirnside certainly did.
So did Tim Richardson.
I am sure there are others.

Oh, you mean the other guys.
Yep.  They took notice, too.

Ross Cassell had a grand mal, trying to get Steve Asher
to drop me from his board - not just ban me from this echo.
Steve told Ross where to go.

Ross Cassell had another grand mal, trying to get Steve Asher
to drop Wayne Chirnside from his board - not just ban him from
this echo.  Steve got tired of Ross' rants and unplugged Ross
from his board.

The latest is Tim Richardson using C.G. Learn's board.  Since
Tim inadvertently accessed an echo moderated by Janis Kracht,
she did not have to call on her lapdog (Ross Cassell) to do any
dirty work for her.  She was willing to do it herself.

C.G. Learn did enough to make her happy.  But what would she
have done had Tim used a board outside of her jurisdiction?
A board whose sysop refuses to take orders from her or her
lapdog?  Who would she or her lapdog cry to then?
