Easy... just leave a message to Sysop in this echo.  I'm going to e-list this

AMIGASALE instead.  Like I said, it defeats the purpose having two echoes.
What's the purpose of keeping two then?

user: You are replying to All about "AMIGASALE or AMIGA_SALE?".

Write your reply.

assistant: Okay, people.. this isn't a message from the moderator, but I think it
pertains alot to those in here.
FIDOnet has two AMIGA for-sale echoes.  Mine, AMIGASALE, gets about usually
double the amount of messages that this area gets.  This echo, AMIGA_SALE was
created back when there was another moderator of AMIGASALE, whom most didn't
like.  That has changed.  We have two virtually identical echoes on the
FIDOnet backbone with the same exact rules.  Since this echo was vacated,
what I am proposing is that everyone ask their SysOp to get AMIGASALE instead
of AMIGA_SALE (this echo) so that we can have a unified Amiga for-sale echo.
Does anyone agree with me on this?  It'd be more productive to have just one
Amiga for-sale echo with all the traffic rather than two seperate echoes.  In
the state the Amiga is in right now, I think this is the right choice.  It
doesn't really make sense to have two different echoes if the second is
around for a reason that no longer exists (i.e. the moderator in AMIGASALE
before me.)
Please give me feedback...... in here, net-mail, or at the e-mail address
below.  I've already gotten about 7 replies supporting me doing this.
And believe me, it won't be that hard.  If those who read this echo ask their
sysops to get AMIGASALE instead, the change won't be that difficult.  And
since AMIGA_SALE (this echo) won't be in the e-list anymore, people will all
come to AMIGASALE.
If anyone wants opinions on how I moderate, feel free to ask people how I do
in AMIGASALE and AMIGA_SYSOP.  I am a very light-handed moderator who does
the best he can to support the Amiga and make the echo traffic go smoothly.
Thanks!

machine). And then add a Cybergrfx board, 060 (or PPC...), ram, 17" monitor
(drool...), and still nbe able to use a CHEAP SVGA monitor in all modes
(thanks to the 3000's built-in flicker fixer...)
It has:
1200 KS3.0 (of course)
internal 80meg 2.5" HD
external PCMCIA fast IDE 3.5" 540meg HD
MBX 1230XA 33mhz 030/882 w/8megs FAST
1942 monitor (.28 dot pitch, built-in speakers)
TONS of software
Lemme know!
I'd like to get $500 for the whole setup...
Thanks!

Write your reply.

assistant: Advantages of one echo.
Saves time, money and storage space for users and sysops.
*Time*
No more reading dupes in both echoes. Smaller packets = faster transfers.
Also easier to check out all the offers before you write a reply.
*Money*
Faster transfers = lower phone bills.
*Storage*
The smaller the packet the less you need.  This is true for both the sysops
and the offline readers.
You paid for your storage space. How everyone place their hand on their
checkbook and ask yourself "How much usage do I want to get from my hard
drive and how much wear and tear do I want to subject it to".
Two echoes is a waste of everyone's resources... Get everyone to carry the
other echo then let this one die.  This should be easy with to do just write
a notice addressed to sysop and every sysop concerned would get it..
My two cents worth.
