Does the fact that Sergey is not an FTSC member make his opinon and
knowledge any less relevant in this case?  He is a member of this echo,
and of fidonet.  And he is an active participant in the discussion of
alternate character sets.  Certainly sounds like he might well be
qualified to be on the FTSC.  The document he pointed to certainly
reads like it defines how to use alternate character sets in echomail
-- and certainly looks like the FTS that Echopol1 called for as a
superceding standard by the FTSC.

Actually, I find your POV on Echopol1 rather difficult to understand.
On the one hand you say it is the established policy governing echomail
in Z2.  On the other hand you talk about doing things in contradiction
to that particular clause.  I give you a question which you could have
easily used to show how your position is not in contradiction -- and
instead of giving the simple answer you chose to go ballistic and engage
in personal attacks.

 MVDV> If you know all the answers, why do you keep harassing me 
 MVDV> with these silly questions?

I'm not the one who claims to know all the answers, and the question was
sincere and not at all silly.  I had expected that you as chairman of
the FTSC, of all people, would have known the answer and would have been
able to quickly point to the document called for in Echopol1 which would
replace the quoted section.  I guess I was wrong in that.
