     Don't know and therefore am not suggesting that you either did
or didn't. As I have stated in Z1C I haven't made any statements there
that I haven't already made here or elsewhere or directly to the person
that may have been involved.

    The concept of a restricted echo doesn't bother me. And I would
have taken no offense at being denied access to the eNeT.sYsOp echo. I
also would not have used my denial of access as a ploy to further the
zonal conflict as some are presently doing. How long have the two echos
in question been in existence? Restricted, semi-restricted, read-only,
or some combination thereof. In a limited access atmosphere people are
often somewhat more relaxed and more prone to offering their ideas and
opinions. BUT, one has to be watchful not to let thyself fall into a
situation where one's attitude or opinion changes based on where they
are offering it.

     It isn't the PROOF that is necessary. It is the willingness to prove
that is more important. Were you insulted or offended when you were denied
access to Z1C?

     I think work needs to be done to help eliminate the feeling that we
need restricted access to this or that. But we are talking about dealing
with the hardest thing to change. The human attitude.


 MV> Cheers, Michiel
