yes and no... only the international and netwide echos were those that really
should have been going to all zones... everything else was gravy and pudding...

 MvdV> But that is history.

beside the point...

 MvdV> Z1 is but s small part of FidoNet these days

beside the point...

if they pull their echo feeds from them, they are still required to follow
those rules that are in place, today...

 MvdV> So, it appears you are the only one.

no, it doesn't... why do you jump so fast and easily to such unfounded
conclusions without the necessary research and investigative work to prevent
you from sticking you foot/feet in your mouth so often??

 MvdV> Well, we don't depend on you for our echomail.
 MvdV> So take a hike with your SLA's and your e-list.

FOD, AH :|

sure it is if you expect any (real) traffic... i suppose you're one of those
that would rather hump their echos on their own dime to everyone who wants it??

 >> and not if you are linked to a system on that backbone...

 MvdV> I am not.

you are linked to at least one system that does/did have similar rules...

they have my pity, then ;)
