• Autoposts Stopped

    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to All on Tuesday, December 02, 2025 00:01:09
    Due to echo moderators prohibiting autopostings, I have decided to
    SUSPEND these...mainly the Today In History Postings (among others).

    The Today In History Postings change daily, and recycle yearly. I
    had previously suspended the weekly autopostings on the daily ham
    radio nets that I run...but these are now ending as well.

    In the BBS Ads echoes, I had to enable DUPLICATE CHECKING, as many
    BBS's were doing the autoposts of their system several times a day.

    To get these posts resumed, I will need a reply from the moderator
    of this echo, to state it's OK. Otherwise, they will be on my local
    message areas only.

    Sorry for any inconvenience...your understanding is appreciated.

    Joe Mackey is still listed as moderator of this area although I haven't seen him around in years so I doubt we'll hear from him.

    For what it's worth I have no issue with your autoposts.

    Echoing Al's sentiment, I also have no issues with them.

    Alan,

    Due to echo moderators prohibiting autopostings, I have decided to
    SUSPEND these...mainly the Today In History Postings (among others).

    Joe Mackey is still listed as moderator of this area although I
    haven't seen him around in years so I doubt we'll hear from
    him.

    For what it's worth I have no issue with your autoposts.

    Last I heard from Joe, he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
    I had gotten out of the networks after my brother's suicide last year,
    and the resulting nervous breakdown. But, I've rejoined them now. I just
    needed some time away from things.

    I'm afraid that Joe may have passed away...and I don't know if one
    can change the echolist listing without a password. I don't know how
    long it goes without an update, before it notes "this echo one the
    backbone has expired".

    I will post the Burma Shave ads back in here as soon as possible.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Daryl
