Hi, Thom!

Just out of curiosity, I did a little investigating of the Elist,
using the August issue. It had 1,240 unique echotags. Less that
half are listed as officially carried by any Fidonet backbone.
The biggest non-fido presence is FamilyNet (402), followed by
Ambernet (12) and Tott_Net (7). 74 entries were blank in the
distribution field, 114 listed "none" as distribution (if you
count the one which claimed "neon" as distribution), 107 were
private, private restricted, you pick up, request only, local,
regional, or otherwise restricted. The remaining 524 listed Zones
one or more Fidonet zones, plus other assorted distro means
(Planet Connect, the now defunct FidoSpine, et cetera).

Congrats on running a service for more than just Fidonet.
