Yes I do..

Yes this will done the next times, with only files in one file echo fdn and
self if the files could be to other nets echo just send out to one fdn on
filegate and only i *one* fdns and if people could or can use the file and
like it they can se the the fles echo and where it can be found by the
announcng i sending out in announce echoes.
