 VC>>> You have sent a few submissions with a keyword of TOT

 ml>> some time back, when you first wrote about TOT, i posted what it was
 ml>> for... that was several weeks ago...

 VC> Must have missed that.

probably when you had the other address set for this area which caused you
problems with messages in here...

 ml>>    TOT : the number of nodes carrying the area

 ml>> i got this information from the original echomod archive(s) that dana
 ml>> bell did...

 VC> OK, found that but it is not in Ben's program but might have been in the
previous one.

i did state "that dana bell did" above... dana is the original echomod author
;)

 VC> I can see why, as no one could possible know how many systems are
 VC> connected to a echo as no uplink provides that data other than in
 VC> a manual way and even then it will be very limited as most BBS
 VC> system do not report on it at all.

you're forgetting about the seenby lines ;) most moderators would have access
to them in the messages and can easily gather and count them... i've done
similar with my PATHS program clone which maps out an echo's layout on the
network :)

 VC> Please remove all references to that keyword (as it is dead) from all
 VC> submission files.

i've already done that for mine...

 VC> It will save you getting error reports!

true but i should note that i'm not the moderator the original message was
posted to :)
