Hi Dorothy,
 
This echo is not going to shut down.  All the echos distributed by means of 
what they call "the backbone" need to be listed in the master list of all the 
echo conferences, the Echolist.  The listings need to be renewed every six 
months, so the backbone can see that the echos are still alive and that 
someone is looking after them.
 
I have the password for the listing, and I'll send in the renewal this 
weekend when it won't cost so much to call (the current echolist keeper is in 
Canada).  So not to worry, everything is under control.
