I for one find this procedure helpful to me.  tHis tells me
if it's at all worthwhile to link to an echo.

A good strategy. and brings me to something else I've
thought about recently.
sUch a topic as to how to keep echoes in distribution and
promote them would have been a perfect fit for the moderator echo, but it made 
its way to backbone.dst due to a lack of
interest among moderators.

WHen I first linked up with it last fall it was somewhat
active, but after that little flurry it all died done <g>.


I post periodic announcements about one of my echoes on
relevant internet listservs.  THe other I promote through a
related usenet newsgroup.  wHIle doing so, I"ll post a
timely article occasionally in either echo, and of course
monthly rules and information postings via automation.
