Hello All!

It has been almost a year since I tore through the BACKBONE echoes to determine 
which echoes are truly dead.

Remember that:

BACKBONE.NA

Contains the list of known active and distributed echoes.

BACKBONE.NO

Contains a list of known inactive but still distributed echoes.

BACKBONE.DST

Contains a list of echoes removed from distribution.

Within the next month I will begin reviewing BACKBONE.NA and BACKBONE.NO.

Echoes listed in BACKBONE.NO found to be still inactive will be moved to 
BACKBONE.DST and removed from distribution. Echoes found to be active could be 
returned to BACKBONE.NA..

Echoes listed in BACKBONE.NA found to be inactive, will be moved to BACKBONE.NO 
but will remain in distribution.

The criteria will be the past 365 days.

If you have an echo that is inactive in either BACKBONE.NA or BACKBONE.NO, that 
has been dead for a year, now is the time to revive it, but make sure the 
revival is legitimate. If an echo has what amounts to be spam within it that 
does not deal with topic of echo, those messages wont count.
