      The official method is to have the elisted moderator send a copy of the
response received from the elist robot to the NAB robot requesting that the 
echo be transported by the NAB.

      Plus when you factor in the fact that the elist robot (and it's handler)
are possibly broken, at least I see daily replies sent to me from submissions I 
sent in once (on the 28th of each month), I'm not sure what to officially 
advise you.

      However, if you simply asked me privately to transport the echo, it
would happen.  :)

      I'm sure Ross, Brenda, and Janis would also follow suit.


      BUT, maybe first check the latest release of BACKBONE.NA and see if it
might still be listed.  There've been no purges of it for well over a year.
