i definitely remember gord's name... what i remember about that situation was
that someone had the echo and was posting the FAQ... they disappeared and
someone else took over but they didn't have the FAQ... i sent it to them... now
we have what is a similar situation... i just don't recall if it was gord that
i sent the FAQ to or not...

if the echo is archived over on ozzmosis, they may have a copy, too...

YUP! it was gord that got the echo relisted in the echolist back in 2002/2003
and took over the moderatorship... he posted the 12 post primer from then until
Mar 2011... richard webb took over the echo in Jun 2011... in his rules, he
posted this link to the COMM primer which is the FAQ, IIUC...

it looks like dallas took over moderatorship Sep 2014 and started posting the
rules with MSGPOST... this was after richard left fidonet and handed all of his
echos over to others... dallas and i were benefecieries as was another couple
of folks...
