The RECOVERY EchoList does not include: a) BBS's that belong only to nets other than one of the nets listed in (c) above (because they are not in a nodelist), or b) points and unlisted BBS's (likewise, and because they generally are not available to callers), or c) BBS's that carry the echo but from which no messages have been entered in the last 60 days, or d) BBS's for which the origin line information was so incomplete that the net/node information could not be determined. If you know of a board in the third category and would like to see it listed, call it and enter a message in its RECOVERY Echo message area. If the message, with its origin line, reaches 1:132/131 it will appear in the next list. Sysops can file request RCVRYBBS.LST from 132/131 at any time for the current list. The RECOVERY EchoList is updated periodically and is distributed to the RECOVERY Echo on a monthly basis.
