Jim & All were deep in conversation about...
JT> Irv Koch is now the moderator of both the MAGICK echo _and_ the
JT> OCCULT_CHAT echo on FidoNet.  It seems to me that we might consider
JT> a gate between PODS MAGICKNET and Fidonet MAGICK, and between a
JT> re-created PODS MUNDANE and Fidonet OCCULT_CHAT.  PODS METAPHYSICAL
JT> could be gated to Fidonet via a new Fidonet echo that maybe we could
JT> convince Irv Koch to moderate, along with the other two.  Heck, take
JT> a look at Fidonet's MAGICK and OCCULT_CHAT echoes, and you'll
JT> recognize most of the folks posting there from our PODS echoes!
JT> If these gateways could be negotiated and set up, I think the echoes
JT> so associated could indeed once again become the definitive trio of
JT> magick echoes.
JT> What do you think?  Anyone think we should go to Jay Loveless with
JT> this?
Man, Jim!  This is an emotionally loaded combination. <G>  Not only are these 
three core echoes, but they are the *first* core echoes!  Of course, with Irv 
moderating the Fido side, a lot of the insecurities we would normally have in 
such a situation are more than adequately answered.  I would need to get the 
concurrance of the RC's on this, but if Irv is willing to take on moderating 
both sides of them, and with the understanding that the PODS side remain Pods 
core echoes, I would be comfortable in recommending this to you and the other 
RC's.
The gating would be done here, per Pods.Rul on gating of core echoes. (Could 
alternatively be done by any	RC, but I'm already set up to gate, and adding 
two more echoes would take less than 5 minutes)
Yol Bolsun!
