     Then maybe cut and paste the appropriate parts and request the echo be
carried in this echo?

     I'll add it to backbone.na.

     Bedynek better not be issuing any file called backbone.na, he's neither
in the NAB, nor authorized to do so.  Use the one that the NAB Robot hatches
whenever there's a change.
