Hello Allen!

Actually your listings should reflect the intended method when you list them, I 
held off because your listings contradicted your request.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Its not going to be instant even when the files go out.

No you wont have to wait a week, there is no difference between a backbone file 
going out on a Sunday versus a monday or any other day.

Its just ascii.

They will be boned and listed in backbone.na, additionally a supplemental file 
called backbone.int will be hatched to supplement the echoes listings as being 
entangled with origins/destinations that are outside of Fidonet.

 AP> But as of this moment in time they are not on the backbone therefore
 AP> not listed as so.

You should have listed them as such as you intended to have them distributed, 
else I would not have had reason to pause and question you and request 
clarification, do you see it from my end?

 AP> Do you see it from my end?  Or am I, and the other nodes who want the
 AP> echos, going to be forced to wait another week?

See above.

Patience my young padewan.
