Hello Janis!

I didnt drop yahoonews...

Essentially if an echo had any 2012 traffic, I skipped over..

I dropped YAHOONEWS probably in the prior purge which was probably June/July 
2009..

I cannot realistically expect that you or Bob thoroughly followed up on the 
prior purges or this one, BACKBONE.DST is a record of echoes that have been 
removed since I began this process.

btw, if I followed the criteria used by the original NAB or the Z1B, 
backbone.na would have less than 50 echoes and that is not even factoring in 
the echolist!!

Why I think the old methodology is too anal for todays Fidonet, I do have a 
expectation which is not unreasonable that when a link areafixes "+*" they get 
a bunch of echoes with coherent activity..

With that said, if YAHOONEWS revived itself, then someone forgot to tell Mr NAB 
Robot, aka moi.. I would have gladly relisted it in BACKBONE.NA, then added it 
back into my setup and discovered traffic!!! Looks like the moderator dropped 
the ball here, its not like as the NAB ROBOT I am as quiet as a church mouse, 
wouldnt you agree?

Soap box mode off, no offense intended.. :-)
