   AI>> The AMIGA echo would be a staple on the FidoNet backbone.  It would be   
   AI>> a standard echo offered from all HUBs, not just an elective.  For me, I ha   
   AI>> to request for this echo to be added.  This should not be the case.   
      
   AI>I don't think there is any getting around this. Once an echo is carried by   
   AI>the backbone each of the stars will have the area and make it available to   
   AI>others but other nodes may carry the area if they wish, there is no   
   AI>requirement to carry any area at all although most hubs will work to   
   AI>connect you to the areas you would like to be connected to.   
      
   AI>I think it is good for a moderator to add areas they want widely   
   AI>distributed to the backbone and keep it updated so it doesn't fall off the   
   AI>backbone from neglect. An area may be removed from the backbone at some   
   AI>point for lack of traffic also but I don't think that will happen to this   
   AI>area.   
      
   AI>In any case if you would like to moderate this area I support you. You'll   
   AI>need the support of the users of the area, at least a mojority of the users.   
      
   AI>If folks could post there support for Garry with a yes or no I think that's   
   AI>enough.   
      
   AI>Do you, the readers of this area support Gary?   
      
   AI>Gary for Moderator? Yes/No   
      
      Yes
