   Update rerun and seems to be correct.   
      
   I have no idea why this happened for this area as the other updates appears to   
   be ok - unless you know different.   
      
   Please advise if you find any other oddities.   
      
   Annoyingly, if it happens again I will have to rebuild the program to produce    
   full run time trace that will show the code executed to see if the issue can    
   be   
   located although it will be a right pain to trace the actual code for THAT   
   specific echo other than by counting.  Tracing produces a lot of output.   
      
   I seem to recall this has happened in the past for THIS echo, most odd.   
      
   Looking at the submission file the only may be oddities are it has mod and   
   comod with email addresses but nothing that looks wrong, volume that is very   
   high but cannot test it as it one of the few echos that I am not getting -   
   possibly because of zero traffic as I cleared out last year a lot of dead   
   wood. Needless to say that could not be a logical reason for the issue as    
   elist   
   does not check volume against actual, although early on it did but was   
   presenting possible problems if my system was losing any traffic (unlikely but   
   possible). Yet another feature that was removed as unneeded but may be nice to   
   have.   
      
   @Mike Powell, if you are reading this pls change the volume to what is actual   
   occurring for the echo as I find it very hard to take that 1,500 per month is   
   any where near actual count on any fido echo let alone this one.
