Whatever floats yer boat fella.  I"ll submit them, if it
takes them, keep 'em, if it doesn't, doesn't matter to me.
But, acknowledge it or not, your echolist performs a quasi
official function as far as the backbone is concerned, at
least when it comes to adding new echomail conferences.  IT
also, if it works correctly, actually provides a legitimate
service to fidonet sysops and users.  Whether it continues
to or not is entirely up to you.  Obviously I"m not the only one
submitting updates via netmail, hence the reports of
connection problems with your system.  Since neither of
those making note of them derive echomail feeds from you
that indicates that their purposes for connecting directly
with your system were interacting with your echolist.  I
reported a problem that you might wish to be aware of.
ADdress it or not, your choice.
