   You illuminated a key point.  How to create an echo is not obvious - to a   
   user. A user comes along, sees that no echo seems to exist for a particular   
   topic, and maybe asks for a sysop's assistance to track it down and add it to   
   the BBS. Or.. the user sees there is no echo for a particular topic of   
   interest and thinks "fidonet sucks.. there is no echo for the topic I'm   
   interested in".   
      
   But basically, it's a simple matter to just ask.  A sysop of your board could   
   help you get started.  Then you, as creator/moderator, just need to advertise   
   (eg. via ECHO_ADS echo), or encourage other sysops in the network to add your   
   echo. You're already off to a good start doing just that!  :D   
      
   Hope this helps!   
      
   Ciao!
