 Yes, but that doesn't fix the larger issue of getting Fidonet users the
 ability easily find active echoes, and to consolidate echoes to bring
 in more traffic. I'd thought of combining similar echoes to get more
 traffic into fewer echoes in Fidonews, but there wasn't consensus.

 What is helpful is that Nick Andre posts echoes with 30 days of traffic
 in one of the echoes, so I can see if there's traffic going on in an
 echo I don't carry, and add it on.

 What I've always wanted is to be able to link the whole backbone, then
 have a BBS system that would automatically create areas if they receive
 traffic, and delete them after x months of inactivity. Wouldn't that be
 cool?
