Hello pF!

I always had the impression that a moderator acted as a kind of  
editor, finding news to report to stir conversation.  FIDONEWS  
was nurtured like that in the past, but not since BF took over.  
Now the newsletter itself is just an automated bot output of  
stuff with nothing fresh to read.  And the echo diverges from  
the topic of the newletter contents very fast.

As for "write an article rallying support for resurrecting an  
echo" ..that's what I thought ECHO_ADS was for.  :/

Not sure what you mean.  For resurrection and support, I meant  
for people to speak up in ANY echo and mention other echos  
where people could go to continue a specific topic of  
discussion.
