5.1 The "NeOS" project was declared a "pilot" project of the echo conference, it follows that permission to post new versions and documentation, as well as software designed to work
under NeOS, was issued by Roman Petrov AKA Megus/Brainwave^X-Project

answer with netmail, because for others it may be completely
nothing!

nicknames in the From/To field is not allowed (let's not start a kindergarten,
the “cool hackers” are already making a dazzle in the eyes). The exception is
Moderator/CoModerator :) .
CoModerator has every right to distribute stars and pluses,
beware :) .
Re-election of the Moderator is a malicious offtopic. As long as I'm alive, you will keep order for me here! :)
