Yes they can :-) ...  They are good reminders to moderators especially
in the case when an echos volume may have dropped due to inactivity or
potential lack of interest by users during a slow period such as the
summer when people are more apt to being outside, etc... 

I too enjoy them in my own moderated echos in the event I forget to send
off the ELIST update requests :-) ...  But I usually send my requests
off via EMAIL and have been very successful using that approach.  I've
tried NETMAIL in the past; however didn't seem to be as reliable as
EMAIL since I typically route all netmail from my system to my uplink.

Anyways, good luck and happy messaging :-)
