If Roy had the echo listed, he would have some protection....and if it
happened when he refused to list it...then it could be relisted by anyone.

Echolisting is such a simple process...it's only when we start arguing over
the number of nodes that can dance upon the head of a pin that it gets
complicated.

But, it offers a wonderful opportunity for folks to flex their muscles and
take on the mantle of echo (echolist) savior.

And what's even more humorous is that when I ran the last warning batch
file, there were actually echoes that are moderated by some of the saviors
that are in jeapody of expiring...I am reminded of the phrase
"Physician, heal thyself".
