     As I understand it, it's not so much volume of messages (or lack
thereof), but more that periodically, someone (usually the Moderator I
guess) makes contact with one of the FidoGods who then allows the Echo
to continue in existence for another pre-determined period of time.
                                               Later,
                                               Phill
