   Hello All!   
      
   As of a few months back the system has changed so that the life time of a echo   
   update went from 6 months followed by up to 4 months of warning messages about   
   its expiry followed by one month for the Deletion warning followed by a    
   further   
   month before the echo was deleted and this totalled a maximum life of 13    
   months   
   before it was actually deleted.   
   So any  submitted updated up to and including month 13 was valid.   
      
   The new time line is now :   
      
   10 months life followed by ONE month warning followed by ONE month deletion   
   warning with a further month before it is actually deleted - again 13 months   
   before it is actually deleted.   
      
   Once an echo has warning messages sent from month 10 then a copy is also sent   
   to all moderators on record for the echo. Just in case the moderator on record   
   has left Fido for any reason.   
      
   Also now it actually does NOT get deleted but is transferred over to the   
   Backbone system and is no longer listed on the ELIST.NA and .RPT files.   
   At that point ownership moves from the original moderator to elistmaint and no   
   longer is effected by lifetime limits - It remains unless deleted.   
      
   If one of the Backbone echo's is not longer in use say because of zero traffic   
   for 12 months or more, it can be deleted in the normal way or by sending a   
   message to myself here, and I will do it for you.   
      
   Such deletions will be reported in the normal way in the ELIST echo area.   
      
   Vincent
