It may in fact be a duplicate effort in the case of the SYNCHRONET echo, but it
is not the only newsgroup that I offer to those that aren't running a system
with a built-in newsgroup system. As I mentioned before I'm certainly not
trying to step on anyone's (Digitalman) toes by offering it as an echo. I
believe, as I said before, that I've eliminated the unfortunate duplicate
message posting problem so as NOT annoy others in the actual newsgroup.

Best regards,
Marc
