In your mind it doesn't....a lot of other folks wout disagree with you.

And exactly what does that prove?  If folks make use of the Echolist and
regard it as a source of information about the name of the echo, the
content of the echo, it's origin and a lot of other information, it becomes
a reference work.

But, you and I will remain at loggerheads, so it's of little purpose for
either one of us to convince the other.
