||ECHOLIST SYSTEM CRASH
||     Subsequent to the the creation of the Echolist in October, 1:261/1352
||     suffered a TOTAL system crash.  All MODerator UPDate, MODerator DELete
||     messages, ECHOlist QUERIES and rules submissions that were submitted
||     on or after October 1, 2001(10/01/2001) were lost.
||
||     The ECHOLIST Database was last backed up on September 30, 2001
||       (09/30/2001) when ELIST110.ZIP was created.
||
||ECHOLIST SYSTEM RESUMES OPERATION
||     The Echolist system resumed operation on October 28, 2001(10/28/2001)
||
||     When the ECHOLIST system resumed operations on October 28, 2001 
||     it received both netmail and email messages that were on hold at the
||     respective uplinks.  These messages will be processed in the month of 
||     November, 2001.
||
||     It is important to note that many messages that were sent via Crash 
||     Netmail and/or email may not be in either the database or in the 
||     messages due to be processed.
||
||     Moderators who made submissions between October 1, 2001 and 
||     October 28, 2001 are urged to resubmit their updates to 1:1/21 or 
||     via email to elistin@fido261.qis.net
||
||     Affected moderators should also submit the response from the 
||     Echolist Robot to them to the Echolist Keeper at 1:261/1352 or 
||     via email to baltimoremd@baltimoremd.com 
||     
||     Should a conflict in listings occur, the Echolist Keeper will use 
||     message dates and confirmation messages as a tool to determine the 
||     most correct updates.
