Greetings Wilfred!

Stupid is as stupid says, I always say. Updating an echolisting was
required by the former EK to keep the echo listed, else it falls off the
list and may be elisted by anyone who cares to. Todays's EK doesn't
require this update for one year after the listing.

 WvV> The current echolist is a mockery. And misused for political

It's too bad that you take the word of a non-sysop who is a known trouble*
maker with no working knowledge of how Fidonet and the echolist work.

* Kicked off of more BBSes than any other user known to the moderator
community.

 WvV> The following listing is part of the echolist for over a year now:

 WvV> BNL.ALGEMEEN

And is a viable echo distributed here in Z1. Had Vlist asked the person
who listed it to remove it, rather than attempt to get it removed by
threatening the EK, it may not have remained listed.

However, it was renewed yesterday and remains in distribution.

 WvV> This is an obvious fake,

On the contrary, this echo is in distribution here. Fakery is established
by an echo that is not in distribution, such as the following:

 WvV> Yet when I elisted the following "area" last year:

 WvV> ECHOLIST-IS-A-MOCKERY

 WvV> I was asked to stop doing this, and even threatened to be removed
 WvV> from fidonet if I didn't stop updating this "area".

By whom, Vlist or Dossche? Since there is nothing in P4 that can be used
to threaten your nodelisting, someone was talking through his hat and you
were fool enough to believe it.

 WvV> So the echolist keeper applies double standards,

As do the very people who think the echolist is a mockery. Your listing
didn't do anything but show how much of a fool you really are.

 WvV> So he is part of the problem, thus making the the echolist a
 WvV> mockery, that should best be ignored in my opinion.

You have a right to your opinion, no matter how bad it is. And you would
do better to ignore the list and move on.


    Have a day!
