they are absolutely supposed to do exactly that... that is how echos are
added/removed from the backbone... at one time there were certain requirements
that needed to be met before making the request... i remember them as

  at minimum, two regions wanting the echo in question
  at minimum X posts a month

both of those were dropped when rossC took over the duties of maintaining the
backbone.* files... he took inventory every few years to see which echos had no
 traffic in X period and moved those to backbone.not... if their traffic didn't
 pick up at some point, they were removed and dropped completely by the
backbone stars...
