   No. The echo I knew as FIDONEWS by then was a completely different echo, one
that only contained the Snooze. It was an echo, where someone posted the Snooze
just like I am doing now, but without all the bickering taking place.

 BF>> This is the official home of FidoNews discussion in FidoNet hosted and
 BF>> Moderated by the FidoNews Editor.

 RC> That settles it.

   I think so too. Since from the creation of the echo in your part of the
world, it says that the Editor is the permanent (albeit added later) moderator,
logic has it that only the editor can change that clause.

 RC> But you didnt answer the other question I posed, which was, does having
 RC> this echo or being or not being the moderator, real or imagined, affect
 RC> your ability to be the current editor?

   That's because I do not understand the question. Why the heck would
moderating this echo have any affect the editorial skills of mine?

 RC> No one that you would approve of.

   Well then... Why would I pass over the baton to someone that I don't think
can do the job properly?

 RC> If you do appoint someone to take over, pick someone who is not
 RC> controversial but fair.

   Ah, c'mon now Ross! Surely you are more experienced than believing the hoax
about "the editor is responsible for the decline of the Snooze"? Why don't you
blame me for the decline of almost every fidonet echo (except the two that,
ironically, I happen to moderate) as well?

   What we in fidonet have to put up against blogging, googling and other
wonderful, new inventions is zilch. What should be in the Snooze is fidonet
related news, but there is only one fidonet coordinator that uses this
information channel on a regular basis, and he is the one you all try as hard
as you can to insult, bash, work against, call names and whatever you arrogant
bastards can come up with whenever there's someone you do not approve of.
