    ML> most likely from the BACKBONE.NA... the BACKBONE.NA file is created from   
    ML> the initial request to carry the echo on the backbone... the BACKBONE.NA   
    ML> is not, TTBOMK, updated automatically from the echolist... the current   
    ML> BACKBONE.NA file, 2015-Oct-29, contains the line

   My BBS uses this description for the area, and Bama for the short description.   
   If the description needs updating I'll gladly do it, I just need to know what   
   would be better.

    ML> all the BBSes that carry the area that are using the long title as the   
    ML> area's name...   
      
   A message requesting that in the Z1_BACKBONE area would probably get the
