Michael, as moderator it is sometimes required for you to kick some
lackadasical nodes into appropriate operation.  When things don't seem
to be operating properly in YOUR echo, you sometimes have to backtrack
the problem and insist that it be rectified.
Also, as moderator you are required to post the official rules of the
echo at LEAST monthly so as to assure the echo users that you have not
lost contact or gone missing. (as happened once before.)  Failure to do
so 'might' put the echo in jepardy of losing its backbone status.
(Something NONE of us want to see.)
Several of us have noticed the radical drop off of traffic and have been
worried that someone may have inadvertently dropped the ball so to
speak, which could also put the echo at risk of losing its backbone
status due to low message count.
I'm sure we're all relieved to see you alive and well, (and still
connected) but if there is a routing problem you're the man who needs to
poke around and find out what's wrong.
Best of luck, and if I can help please don't hesitate to ask me.
Respectfully
