Th> 2) the other region NA files have the echo tags but no descriptions ..
Th> how are we to know what the damn echo tags are for???

That is what the Elist is for -- assuming that the moderator of the echo
cares enough to use the Elist.

Th> another problem I(WE) are having is everyone is pulling from everyone
Th> else ..

That is not a problem.

TH> If you have a NC in your area than people in that area should
Th> be pulling from them .. not someone across the world .. I dont

For more than 10 years, I have never gotten my main echo feed from my
NC, and in fact not even from my region.

Th> understand this .. why would someone setup a FidoNet feed in one state
Th> when there is a NC in that area? .. before setting up new feeds the NC
Th> needs to check to see if there is a feed from a local NC ... That NC
Th> needs to pull from there RC and etc. etc. ...
Th> Why is FidoNet so laxed on this now a days .. it needs to be addressed
Th> and fixed!

Nope.   Works just fine.

Th> or am I just screwed in the head?
