    Daniel,
    If you get this, that means you have access to the MEMORIES echo on your home BBS. ;)

    Too bad there isn't a simple way to know what boards carry which echos.

    My way to know is if someone on that board posts in that echo.

    Mike

    I mean, a way for a newbie exploring possible echos to know
    what boards carry it in the first place.

    Something akin to FILEFIND for files that probes participating
    BBSes, but instead ECHOFIND for echos and reports which BBSes
    carry a specific echo.

    The GT Power Network (which used proprietary networking software) had a
    third party add on that would report stats back to the NEC, who would
    compile them once a month and distribute them. It showed which boards
    carried which echoes, although I do not believe it descerned between
    "carried publicly" vs. skip/passthru.

    I look at messages in FIDO Memories when I see that some have been posted.
    I wonder how many folks still Read this echo?

    Not many I presume, but I do peruse from time to time out of curiosity. I'm guessing I'm the only Australian here? Perhaps the only from the Southern Hemisphere?
