Is he the mod?  What I meant was he was still subscribed to a dead echo
that no one else was carrying (and is not in the ELIST).  If he is the mod,
that means it isn't getting out very far.

We used to have something like that in the GT Power network... there was a
monthly file distribution that was an echolist that showed what systems
reported carrying what echoes.  It ran a different topology than FTN so I am
not sure how that'd work in the modern world.
