   The backbone hold ALL available echos which includes those that are   
   'moderated' how ever ones that expire are moved to the backbone unmoderated.   
      
   The small drawback to all this is that echos that have zero traffic are still   
   there. So at sometime will have to look through my echos here and see if any   
   are zero traffic. Problem with this is that I cleared out dead wood last year   
   so that might be a bit tricky.   
      
   There again I will wait for sysops to report zero traffic echos on the    
   backbone   
   and them remove them.

   Yes, under the Husky banner but I have never been able to compile them without   
   errors. The husy system is a bit - err, broke at least for me. Again age could   
   be an issue :(
