I should add a few clarifications to the chart. Thanks!

The "Sorted First by" means the ECHO sort order.
When we open a Sub-board/Echo at SouthEast Star, the first message we see is
the oldest.

Thanks for letting me know!  I did not have a Mac/Linux machine to play with.
I'll get the graphic right over the edge.  Believe me, I *did* try.

I started building the chart in Excel, and exported to html. Re-edits were in
Word.  Fairly quick and easy  ..and lazy, I know!  :(  The process adds a lot
of filler code, for sure.
