   How would you explain it, then, so I don't make the mistake of using this   
   terminology again? If echomail doesn't "trickle down", then why do we use the   
   term "downlinks?" A basic configuration of FTN technology is:   
      
                   ZC   
               /  /  \  \   
            RC  RC   RC  RC   
          /  /  |     |   \  \   
        NC NC   NC   NC   NC NC   
       /   /    |     |      \  \   
     [ Nodes, Points, Whatever else ]   
      
   Right? So I don't see how you don't see a trickle effect, but whatever. Potato,   
   Potahto I suppose. Either way, if something odd were to happen to alter text on   
   your system, any of your "downlinks" would recieve this altered text, is all I   
   was getting at. If you supported UTF-8, and some of your downlinks didn't, the   
   effect would start at their system, not yours. You, and the rest of the top   
   tier hubs would have to be the first ones to support this, if it were to   
   happen.
