Yep, Ben is never far away.. :)

I think a simple request to add the area is all that's needed today. When I
added a few areas years back I needed the support of 3 RCs. IIRC. Things
have changed a little over the years.

It's probably a good idea to netmail the backbone hubs also to let them
know you have created the echo and you'd like them to add the area so the
rest of us can get connected.

Well, I am connected but a lot of folks are connected at the backbone so
it'll be easy for them to find a link.

I haven't looked at the help files for the echolist but I'm sure Ben would
be open to making changes if needed.
