 RN>> No, it isn't.  Where did you get that idea?

 ML> BACKBONE.NA file, 2015-Oct-29, contains the line

 ML> BAMA Odyssey Fringe Science Research Echo

My BBS uses this description for the area, and Bama for the short description.
If the description needs updating I'll gladly do it, I just need to know what
would be better.

 ML> the question now is how to get it updated in the BACKBONE.NA file and on
 ML> all the BBSes that carry the area that are using the long title as the
 ML> area's name...

A message requesting that in the Z1_BACKBONE area would probably get the
description changed in the .NA file, getting it changed on existing setups
might not be so easy though. :)
