The concept of backbones is outdated. Anyone can start an echo and have others
pick it up. Anyone can be a Hub. That part of it is a good thing.

But it complicates echo management somewhat. New echo additions are really no
problem as most people run software with auto-add capabilities, but deleting 
is something else. That requires manual intervention and the cooperation of
everyone to do so... and taking everyone's word for it.

I have downlinks posting messages in echoes that have long since been deleted,
everyone "agreed" it was dead, but one Sysop believed it to be active.

I like BAYWATCH as much as the next guy but c'mon...
