    Sorry Mr. Moderator for the OffTop. I just wanted to create a message, so that a newly added node can see that his system is once again connected to this echo.

    <tin foil hat on>

    Some uplink systems, unfortunately, have sysops who decide that this echo is
    not something they want to carry. This system will, of course, carry any echo its downlinks request... 8-)

    Hello Björn,

    Sorry Mr. Moderator for the OffTop.

    Before we go further, it is very important to explain Da Rulz
    of CONSPRCY.

    I just wanted to create a message,

    Through da years Da Rulz have become more apparent than ever.

    so that a newly added node can see that his system is once again connected to this echo.

    Any student of CONSPRCY should already know Da Rulz of CONSPRCY
    by heart.

    Of course, dere will always be club standards ...

    Some uplink systems, unfortunately, have sysops who decide that this echo
    is
    not something they want to carry. This system will, of course, carry any echo its downlinks request... 8-)

    It would be wise to follow dem if you want success.
    After all, we aim to pleez.

    Da Rulz. What are Da Rulz? Somebody once asked me dat.
    I dunno why. Having misplaced Da Rulz many years ago, I
    told da chap dat when I find dem, if I find dem, I would
    post dem. And now, years later, after searching far and
    wide, across the vast universe (and even the underverse),
    I have finally found Da Rulz. So what are dey? Only
    two rulz exist in da hole universe (and underverse).
    Imagine dat. Only two rulz - Dis and Dat. Translated
    into language every Earthling can understand -

    Dere are two Rulz of CONSPRCY. Dey are -

    1. Dere are no Rules.

    2. See Rule number 1.

    If anyone ever tells you that there is an OffTop message
    or a definite method for being Off the Top, then that person
    does *not* know about Da Rulz. As such, just assume dat
    he/she does not know whatever he/she is talking about.

    Note - P4 lists two rules, but those two rules are far different
    than the rules of this echo, as P4 requires *both* parties to be
    banned (the annoyed and the annoyer). As such, P4 cannot be made
    applicable in any echo, as enforcement of said rules would require
    the Moderator(s) to abandon the echo(s) they moderate.
