My BBS defaults to offering all echos a user's access allows to be scanned 
or
new mail, though offering a couple of options to pick tagged echos only.  
hat
other namesake appears to be a user of someone else's BBS.

The odds are you're talking about a situation of Fido gating of PRN echos, on 
a
BBS that carries both.  That would be MILITIA on Fido and PRMLITIA on PRN, 
nd
probably have a like situation with PAUL_REVERE Fido gated from PR_NET.
