Too bad there isn't a simple way to know what boards carry which echos.
My way to know is if someone on that board posts in that echo.
I mean, a way for a newbie exploring possible echos to know
what boards carry it in the first place.
Something akin to FILEFIND for files that probes participating
BBSes, but instead ECHOFIND for echos and reports which BBSes
carry a specific echo.
The GT Power Network (which used proprietary networking software) had a
third party add on that would report stats back to the NEC, who would
compile them once a month and distribute them. It showed which boards
carried which echoes, although I do not believe it descerned between
"carried publicly" vs. skip/passthru.
