 RM> The Elist is a private plaything of a very small number of nodes.

incorrect...

 RM> It has NO MEANING to fidonet,

of course not...

 RM> apart that those small number of nodes use it as a listing of
 RM> echos _THEY_ distribute.

incorrect...

the echolist lists echos and their associated meta data as maintained by the echos' moderators... nothing more... listed echos are from any/all FTNs, not just fidonet...

the backbone.na file contains the list of echos that the backbone carries...

backbone.na is not the same entity as the echolist...

echos must be in the echolist before they can be carried by the backbone...

echos are added/removed to/from the backbone by request of the moderator following established procedures in the backbone's public echo... echos may also be removed from the backbone if their listing falls out of the echolist for too long...
