   Ah yes. I remember this option as well.

   I believe HPT adds that same kludge line, but I'm unsure as to whether or not   
   it actually honors it.

   That's why I just didn't bother. I don't really care about the retention so   
   much. It will build itself back up eventually. And this time around, I think   
   I'll be weeding out the ones with no traffic for 6 months, so I can trim down   
   to a more manageable number of echos.   
      
   I had though the NAB (or Ross since he takes care of the backbone.na) did this   
   at one time, but I haven't seen anything lately.   
      
   Regards,
