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 January, 2005. Date sensitive information about the echolist
    is now contained the in ELHIxxx.TXT file.

CHANGE IN EMAIL ADDRESSES
   In June, 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 JANUARY 2003
   Due to a hardware error, the Echolist Robot was using dates in
   2002 instead of 2003 from January 3, 2003 through January 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
