   As I mentioned to you in netmail, this area had not had a post since 2008.   
      
   That is more than "mostly dead" (Princess Bride)   
      
   Any posts made by Allen requesting what you call a "prior discussion" to his   
   elisting of the echo, would have ended up in the Bit-Bucket.   
      
   Take care,
