The word is spreading! I just found the following message in R50.SYSOP (A
Russian sysop echo)...

Translated with a little help from "http://www.translate.ru/":
"People, seriously, subscribe to English-speaking echo XML.DBMS. Let's
discuss the new standard nodelist. I have looked, that there offer and
personally to me it so it was pleasant!"

Here's the original (transliterated into latin characters):
