    If I have the right show, (too lazy/high to check) this may the appropriate quote:

    "Not da mama!"

    If so, I agree, totally underrated. (^_^)

    The Fidonet WIN95 Echo Rules
    Updated 14 February 2022

    Moderator: Sean Dennis (1:18/200 or sysop@outpostbbs.net)

    Despite the echotag, this echo is for the discussion and support of
    the Microsoft Windows operating system. All versions of Windows are
    on-topic here as are any utilities and programs for Windows though
    Windows is the main topic.

    By your participation in this echo, you agree to the following rules:

    * Real names are required to be used in this echo. No aliases. If
    your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and
    alias in the message header, sign your message with your full real
    name.

    * Be friendly. Agree to disagree. Don't flame or argue in this echo.
    If you must do so, please take it to netmail or somewhere else.

    * Do not discuss anything illegal in this echo.

    * All messages must be in English. You may post a message in your
    native language as long as an English translation accompanies the
    native post in the same message.

    * No blatently off-topic posts, such as BBS ads, "test" messages,
    messages about politics or religion, et cetera. The moderator
    reserves the right to make the final decision if a message is on-
    or off-topic.

    * Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS
    mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else
    without the moderator's express and written permission. This is a
    Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.

    * This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policy,
    such as EP1, and originates from zone 1.

    * Any traffic concerning Fidonet matters, such as alleged "echo
    hijackings", complaints about other echoes and their moderators, or
    any traffic construed as such by the moderators is OFF-TOPIC. Please
    take such discussion to netmail or another appropriate echo.

    * The moderator has the final say in dealing with problems in the
    echo. If you have something to say about a moderator's action,
    please contact him via netmail (preferred) or email.

    * This is a living document and will be adjusted as needed.

    * This document will be posted on the 1st and 15th of each month.

    * Please don't hesitate to contact the moderator with any questions
    about this document.

    Thank you for your participation in WIN95!
