Since Fido isn't a democracy, Moderators aren't elected. In this case, it would be a matter of trying to connect with Pamela and asking if she wants to continue or hand over the reins, etc. Or, if she can't be found, then the echo will expire and it can then be started again from scratch. I've heard this can be a fiddly business, though. My guess is that she is find-able through one of the Internet search areas like www.whowhere.com. --- PPoint 2.00 * Origin: Point of No Deposit, No Return (1:153/404.11) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 244 MYSTERY Ref: DFK00017 Date: 11/15/96 From: FRANK STARNS Time: 12:41pm \/To: DOROTHY REYNOLDS (Read 5 times) Subj: James patterson Hello DOROTHY, 13 Nov 96 13:00, DOROTHY REYNOLDS wrote to SUSAN BULLA: -=>> Quoting Fn:susan Bulla@1:130/916. to Joan Renne <=- JR>> Can't think of anyone to play Travis...

There is an old movie, I think a TV movie, that starred Sam Elliot as Travis McGee and he lived on the infamous Busted Flush. Sam was fairly young at the time but well established, as I recall. Of course, the age I get, the less memory I keep...
