 Imagine if they had a restriction to only discussion of Fidonews
 articles in the Fidonews echo? There'd need to be some articles
 first.

 It might be a good idea for ECHO_ADS posters to ask people to call
 their BBS to check out the echo. Getting additional user traffic
 doesn't hurt, either.

 Moderators posting a list of BBSes active in the echo wouldn't be hard.
 Many mail tossers can create stats for specific areas as well, which would
 show which BBSes are connected and are active in the group.

 It might help liven up those monthly rules postings.
