Normally expired moderated echos are moved over to owner elistmaint so
they can be listed in BACKBONE.NA. This file is used for many BBS
systems to auto add new file areas (well it works using mbse and many
other tic processing tools).

Deleted echos - because of zero postings over say 6 - 12 months
(excluding postings of rules or "any one here" etc) are deleted fully
from the system.
