assistant: Matt Schulz is the Moderator the last time I checked. Mike Farnham
is/was a Co-Mod until a couple of months ago. Fido has been very erratic
the last couple of months so Matt might not even be receiving anything
from the Star Wars Echo. The following information is cut from the last
message from him that I saved. You might want to try and either netmail
or e-mail him. If you don't have access to e-mail let me know and I'll
try to contact him.

I just wish the thread wouldnt have started period. Although it does show
the moderator (Matt Schulz) has not been doing his job here, he should have
started "moderating" a few day's ago already, and by "moderating"
I mean getting involved here and stopping these ST vs SW messages
that are making me think this conference is a Usenet group on the
Internet, full of stupid off-topic thread's and spam, never mind a
Fidonet conference.

assistant: Can the Star Trek stuff stop now?  In my latest packet, there
 was a ratio of about 10:1 Star Trek to Star Wars posts.
 I might as well go to the Star Trek echo to find more interesting
 posts about Star Wars.
 I can't believe you've let David Nelson get to you like this.
 With a few stupid posts, he's completely messed up the Star Wars
 echo.
 At least take your flames to Netmail, like I did.  That way your
 message and any messages he sends back wont mess up the echos
 and waste transfer time for boards that subscribe to the echo.
 You don't have to ignore his messages, just keep them out of
 the echo.  I don't post here much, I usually just browse the
 echo, but lately it's been really disappointing.  I hope we
 can all get back on track soon.

Well, welcome to the echo.  I was actually born in Brussels, Belgium.
I'm 20 years old.  It's almost to bad you came to the echo now, it
really has turned to crap with this Star Trek/Star Wars arguement.
People cannot seem to learn to ignore people that write the occasional,
"Star Wars Sucks!" messages.
Hopefully it won't go on much longer and things can get back to how they
should be.

Hi All,
I come to you from the Star wars echo with bad news. Seems that one of your
breed has crossed over into our universe and tried to in flame trouble.
He goes by the name of David Neeson or Nelson and claims to be a Borg,
to us he is a bore.
Please could you pull the rails on him and tell him to stop coming over
and causing trouble.
After the Rebellion we are peace loving folk and don't take to kindly to
trekkie taunts
I have no problem with Star Trek but I do with idiots who come over off topic
and claim that his product is better.
