NODELIST CORRECTION
   The current nodelist has a corrected listing for the Echolist.

ERROR IN NODELIST
   nodelist.363, and at least one previous issue of the Fidonet Nodelist contains 
   an inaccurate listing for the Echolist Robot.  Do NOT attempt to crash mail to
   the Echolist Robot.

CHANGE IN SUBMISSION MODES
   APRIL, 2006
   Due to the decreasing number of submissions via netmail, the echolist robot
   no longer accepts crash netmail.  Moderators are encouraged to use email
   for faster turn around and better security than netmail.

DATE SENSITIVE MATERIAL
    Effective MARCH, 2005. Date sensitive information about the echolist
    is now contained the in ELHIxxx.TXT file.

CHANGE IN EMAIL ADDRESSES
   In JULY, 2004 the echolist email address was changed to
   echolist@fidonet.us and the email of the Echolist Keeper is now
   fidonet@fidonet.us

SOME BAD DATES IN MARCH 2003
   Due to a hardware error, the Echolist Robot was using dates in
   2002 instead of 2003 from MARCH 3, 2003 through MARCH 10, 2003.
   Between MODerator UPDates resubmitted and editing of the database,
   it appears that all information in the database is correct.

   Echoes deleted and relisted by other than the moderator are subject
   to return to the original moderator if deemed appropriate by the
   Echolist Keeper.

ECHOLIST HISTORY FILE RESTORED
   The history file used to produce various Echolist Reports was
   restored for the July, 2002 issue.

ECHOLIST HISTORY FILE CORRUPT - April, 2002
   The history file used to produce various Echolist reports was
   corrupted sometime in the first week or April, 2002.  Thus, many
   of the monthly reports are missing.  Please consult the master
   Echolist which contains accurate information

ECHOLIST SYSTEM CRASH
   Subsequent to the the creation of the Echolist in DECEMBER,
   1:261/1352 suffered a TOTAL system crash.  All MODerator UPDate,
   MODerator DELete messages, ECHOlist QUERIES and rules
   submissions that were submitted on or after DECEMBER 1, 2001
   (10/01/2001) were lost.

   The ECHOLIST Database was last backed up on DECEMBER 30, 2001
   (09/30/2001) when ELIST110.ZIP was created.

ECHOLIST SYSTEM RESUMES OPERATION
   The Echolist system resumed operation on DECEMBER 28, 2001
   (10/28/2001)

   When the ECHOLIST system resumed operations on DECEMBER 28, 2001
   it received both netmail and email messages that were on hold
   at the respective uplinks.  These messages will be processed in
   the month of DECEMBER, 2001.

   It is important to note that many messages that were sent via
   Crash Netmail and/or email JULY not be in either the database or
   in the messages due to be processed.

   Moderators who made submissions between DECEMBER 1, 2001 and
   DECEMBER 28, 2001 are urged to resubmit their updates to 1:1/21
   or via email to echolist@fidonet.us

   Affected moderators should also submit the response from the
   Echolist Robot to them to the Echolist Keeper at 1:261/1352 or
   via email to echolist AT tlchost.net

   Should a conflict in listings occur, the Echolist Keeper will
   use message dates and confirmation messages as a tool to
   determine the most correct updates.

NAME CHANGE
   Effective JULY, 2001 The Echolist has been renamed
   The International Echolist to more accurately reflect the
   international nature of its contents.
