Ärende: Stupid Echolist Sham
============================
Hello David,

 JK>>> The Echolist does make it easier for sysops to know what's
 JK>>> available, for sure.

 LL>>                         -=end quote=-

 LL>> No elist/echolist has any official status in FidoNet.

 LL>> What Janis Kracht wants is to use an echolist as a means of KONTROL
 LL>> - to say what echoes she wants distributed in FidoNet as opposed to
 LL>> other echoes.  In other words, it is her OFFICIAL STAMP OF APPROVAL.

 LL>> What gives Janis Kracht the right to say what echoes are approved
 LL>> and what echoes are not approved?  What gives Janis Kracht the right
 LL>> to say what moderators are approved and what moderators are not
 LL>> approved?  What gives Janis Kracht the right to say what systems
 LL>> can carry certain echoes and what systems cannot?

 LL>> JANIS KRACHT DOES NOT HAVE ANY LEGTIMATE AUTHORITY TO BE QUEEN BEE!

 DD> She does over her own system - and what echoes that system carries - just
as
 DD> I am with mine.

Every sysop is master of his/her own universe.

 DD> However, no-one is obliged to collect their echomail from her system, they
 DD> can collect from anywhere that carries the echoes they want (and who will
 DD> feed those echoes to them).

And no one is obliged to listen to those who threaten to cut the
feeds of those who refuse to comply with a request to drop certain
echoes from their systems.

If a sysop wants to carry an echo, that sysop is free to do so.
Despite what Janis Kracht (or any of her lackeys) might want or
not want that sysop to do.

 DD> All Fidonet sysops are the masters of their own systems. That is as far as
 DD> the control goes.

That is the way it should be.  Which is why Janis Kracht & Co. hold
me, and you, and others like us, in total contempt.
