Rubbish!  All the echos have been available from Dave ever since
I started.  Paul Markham first hooked into C_ECHO around June 93.
He's still connected, but I can't tell if there was a period where
he wasn't connected.  Anyhow, it was one of the echos available
for QWK users for as long as the BBS was running.  What evidence
do you have that it wasn't available here?  BFN.  Paul.

P.S. I've tracked down the relevant netmail messages, and here
is (after a little censorship) the first message about joining,
and the response to your first areafix request...

In case he decides to give it all a miss, I'm looking for a second feed that I 
can grab a few echos from - namely:

                        AUST_C_HERE
                        ECPROG
                        MSGED_ECHO
                        OS2PROG
                        OS2_Z3
                        TEAMOS2
                        Z3_PASCAL
