I reviewed the echolist submissions you forwarded here, all of them say direct pickup from you in contrast to adding them to a backbone. Your echolist submissions imply private distribution as opposed to public distribution. Therefore I am going to hold off until you can update these listings and clarify? As you do so, it might be wise to include in the DESCription whether or not that echo is going to be "entangled" with an outside network such as newsgroups? I believe we will utilize a separate backbone (BACKBONE.INT) to denote echoes such as yours which you seem to be trying to rescue. This will afford systems an ability to distinguish said echoes up to and including avoidance of them for reasons that have already been expressed. I await clarification and resubmission of your requests. == Ross Fidonet Feeds Or Fidonet In Your Newsreader: http://www.easternstar.info E-mail: ross(at)cassell(dot)us | Blogs/Other Places: http://links.cassell.us ....
