You got that backwards. If the moderator chooses to use the services of the
e-list, the listing comes with the job. If not... well anything can happen.

That don't make it right.

If I forget to lock my car en leave the keys in the ignition, it is still car
jacking if you drive off in it withit without my persmisson. If you do si wit
the intent of not returning it, it is car theft.

 >MV> "Possible" does not equate to "needed".

I don't recall if he did or didn't.

How so? Keep in mind that this is not an elected position. There is no vote to
influence. In whatway wouls it have mattered?

 >>> I really don't care where the editor lives, so there is

 >MV> An exception to what rule?

 >MV> Where in P4 or any other recognised FidoNetr document does is there a

Ah, but you say you follow the rules of the echolist. And according to the
echolist keeper, the list should be as accurate as possible. By listing it in
your name instead of in the name of the FidoNews Editor, that condition is
violated.

 >>>MV> It is not up to you to give or deny me permission to post in

 >>> It is, nd it is, but how I do it or or don't do it is up to me.

 >MV> Empty talk. You are waving a paper tiger.

 > It seems to have made an impression on you..

Oh, it looks impressive... From a distance. I suppose those unable to see what
it is are impressed.

I am not one of them. I see it for what it is: a paper tiger. It can not roar,
let alone bite.

Enjoy your paper tiger Jack. Be careful not to take it out in the rain. Also
don't try to let it jump through burning hoops.

Cheers, Michiel
