      30 Jun 16 07:26, you wrote to me:               ml>>>> you've been told that the echo's name has been changed for several        ml>>>> years, tim...               TR>>> No...I haven't been!               ml>> i told you at least once and i know that roger has said it more than        ml>> twice... there was even a discussion about how the old name was still        ml>> appearing instead of the new one...               RN> I fixed that some time ago. I was a little surprised that the old        RN> name was still in use and sent the correction to Ross, who changed it        RN> that day. It had been corrected in BACKBONE.NA when I chenged the        RN> theme, but not in all distributions. Ross is in charge of the        RN> AREAS.TXT file and that's where the old name was.              yup... the problem, as noted previously, is that some sysops build their       message bases from the backbone.na list but there is no way for their software       to update their areas from a new copy of the file... once built, updating the       titles and descriptions is a manual thing and there's no notification of       differences between the new file and the old one...               ml>>>> your sysop used an old list when they created the areas on their        ml>>>> bbs... your sysop needs to rename the echo on their system so they        ml>>>> have the proper name on it... your sysop is the one that needs to        ml>>>> FixTheirStuff |
