why is that? the area has not been echolisted in ages... roy removed all of his
echos from the echolist after a snit/fight with a previous echolist operator...
he did not add them to the echolist when the new operator took over the list...
being carried by the backbone is different than being carried by distribution
systems... it is a subtle but important difference...
with all of that said, yes, i agree... someone should step up and pick up the
echo(s) to keep them alive and hopefully not anyone who has tried to steal them
away from roy in the past...
