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

ok... in the situation we're looking at, the response never made it back to the 
moderator/creator... but the listing is in the elist...

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

i know that feeling :(

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

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

hummm... i understand... would this be considered private transport or backbone 
transport where everyone has access and it does show up in the NO/NA files?

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

is that the official one that your system manages or the one that bedyneck's 
system does?
