   I don't think there is any getting around this. Once an echo is carried by the   
   backbone each of the stars will have the area and make it available to others   
   but other nodes may carry the area if they wish, there is no requirement to   
   carry any area at all although most hubs will work to connect you to the areas   
   you would like to be connected to.   
      
   I think it is good for a moderator to add areas they want widely distributed   
   to the backbone and keep it updated so it doesn't fall off the backbone from   
   neglect. An area may be removed from the backbone at some point for lack of   
   traffic also but I don't think that will happen to this area.   
      
   In any case if you would like to moderate this area I support you. You'll need   
   the support of the users of the area, at least a mojority of the users.   
      
   If folks could post there support for Garry with a yes or no I think that's   
   enough.   
      
   Do you, the readers of this area support Gary?   
      
   Gary for Moderator? Yes/No   
      
   I don't know how many are here with us but I would hold off for a week or so   
   and give folks a chance to think on it and reply.
