And I wasn't accusing Dale of doing it... was simply stating my opinion on
the matter.  Personally, I don't care what Dale carries on his BBS.  Was
just stating that I think that if the echo is still listed on the backbone
that Dale is a hub for, he should at least provide it as passthrough.

Apparently, Dale is continuing to do so and even still carries it on his
BBS (I think).  So, the point was moot, but the general feeling of what I
was saying was what I was getting at.
