Hello Alan,

Yes, it is. There is absolutely no doubt it is about Khontrol.
A meeting is when people get together for any reason. An echo is
an area for people to get together, for any reason. You have stated
yourself this is such an echo - a place for sysops to discuss what
they want to discuss with other sysops.
So far, so good. That is a concept I believe all can agree on.
But that is not the question.
What you are suggesting is for sysops to have meetings in secret.
Where only they can play. With nobody else around.
When sysops are sneeking to meet, notably as secret lovers, it is
called a *tryst*. Do you understand what the origin of the word is?
The word comes from Middle English, and originally referred to a
designated hunting station.
But every time they try to gather, somebody lets the sunshine in,
and we all know what happens next.
For Life,
Lee
