    There is a backbone although some like to call it something else.

    Yep. Until two days ago, I thought that the FidoNet structure was the hierarchical one I've read from the docs. Now I see that the thing is a little bit complex due to human condition.

    Yes, that's it.

    I'm wondering if the echolist -as some kind of echo reference- would be >> That is what the echolist is. It doesn't list every echo but it lists kno >> echoes at least and if moderators wish it they can list their echoes ther

    I can only see it in a positive light: when I look around to get informati about an echo before to link it, it seems it's the only way to get it as i difficult to find an updated .na file.

    There is a BACKBONE.NA included in the monthly echolist archive hatched in t ECHOLIST file area.


    Yes, it doesn't have everything but most of them are there. Matrix is a fine term for it but 'backbone' has been around so long, most recognize it better.
