Thanks Darren, Mark, Mike and Walter.  I received  your posts in APPLE,
MACCOMM, MAC_TELEFINDER, and. HERMES SYSOPS.  The others are apparently
still broken.

 The information regarding the status of the echo from your feed  is very
helpful. The echoes have not been deactivated on my feed's system for some
reason. 

 I Elisted these several weeks ago, so the tags should be active with the
list keeper now. That should be one reuirement for listing them on the
backbone out of the way.   The other requirements will be met shortly.
