 WD> I have no clue what you are talking about.

ml> ummhummm... the IC echo may be one of those i'm thinking of but i'm
ml> thinking also of that main stream Z2 echo over there... i can't
ml> think of the echotag but you do allow some Z1 members access to
ml> it... i can't get into my archives at the moment but bob moravsik's
ml> name comes to mind as being involved... at least his... this was
ml> back during the time that john souvestre was still in fidonet and we
ml> had several backbones...
 RW> YEp, zcc comes to mind as well as one Moravsic listed.

i was wanting to include that one but couldn't get a firm grasp on that one's
situations in the past...

 RW> <snip>
ml> the backbone(s) started carrying some of the Z2 echos but they were
ml> not listed in the echolist... someone in Z1 listed them with
ml> themselves as moderator and the backbone(s) set the precident of not
ml> carrying the one listed in the echolist on their distribution system
ml> but instead configured to carry the Z2 echo(s) in a private list...
ml> thus the echo(s) in question was not "on the backbone" but was
ml> available from the backbone systems...

 RW> Wasn't this the way the wwb handled it?

i think they all basically handled it this way... the 'bones were all meshed at
one time using a single system between one as the connection to the other(s) it
was a member of...

 RW> YOu had z1b, nab, wwb and fido spine there at one time iirc.

yup... the 'spine came later, AIR... it didn't stay around too long... the wwb
was next out and then the z1b... there is one member of the NAB that has always
been in the NAB... all the others, in all the other bones, have come and gone
and some have even been a member of more than one 'bone at times...

 RW> Doug Myers had a lot of fun poking fun at the various "bones" 
 RW> competing at the time.

yup... but the main thing was distributing the traffic... it was being done and
quite handily... truth be known, they were all part of a bigger distribution
system but none of them really saw it like that ;)
