user: You are replying to All about "notice".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
Please take note of the following.
Recently this echo has seen more than its' share of over quoting and test
messages. Most of the over quoting is being done by long time Fido
participants. Please stop quoting origin lines and cookies etc. Your laziness
is costing online mail tossing time and bandwidth. Use your editors correctly
and remove all unnecessary quoted material before you post.
Many of you are also Sysops. Please instruct your users that also post here
that testing in an international echo is rude and costly.
Finally, I am not an ogre. But when I correct someone here, I don't expect to
receive Netmail from others telling me to chill out, or replies here in the
echo. This is not the InterNet, it is FidoNet. The Moderator is king and s/he
has the only and final word. Crude remarks will only raise my ire and do not
make me change my mind or policies in the echo. If what you have to say is
other than HAM Sale, don't say it
