As an outsider looking in on this conversation, from what I've noticed.. I use
the echolist for one echo, MYSTIC. Ben Ritchie uses it, Mark Lewis uses it,
Scott Little (Z3) uses it, Rudi Timmermans uses it (Z2). After that, there's
plenty more. That is just off the top of my head.

I use it as a form of advertisement. That is all. Someone chose to take over
the reigns after Thom disappeared. He was thanked for that and helped out in
the process, from what I can recall. Noone else stepped up to the task.

I don't see it as a power struggle of any kind, just a way to advertise your
echo and at the very least let it be known that it's there. From what I've
seen, the Z1 backbone keeper doesn't use the echolist, but instead just looks
at echos in general and gets rid of them if they're not active in 6(ish)
months.

Except for the few instances of people trying to erect their e-peen and hijack
an echo by using the echolist that noone uses as the end-all-be-all
registration process for having a carried echo.. Why is this a big deal again?
Or are we just finding another reason to argue in this echo (which seems to
rotate subjects every year or so, lol)?

Regards,
Nick
