AFAIAC, it is ok, CG... this is an inherent problem with the style of using NA files to build one's message areas... especially when there's no mechanism for updating existing areas' titles and descriptions from updated NA files... that the NA file is generally also created from the ECHOLIST contents adds an additional breakage point when echos' titles and descriptions change... especially when the NA file is not updated unless specifically notified and manually done... as far as the tussle goes, it was simply one user pushing others' buttons as they are known to do at times...
