    Look inside the FIDOGAZETTE newsletter. They post a weekly status of the activity in the listed echos. The list is organized conveniently two ways: by echo name, any by message qty.

    Start your pickings by the most active echos. That way you are not wasting your time with the ones are empty.

    Yep, that's where I get my info about traffic in the net along with the stats echo. My RC also posts stats for his system although it may not be available outside of R17, I'm not sure.

    I could probably come up with something similar around here somewhere.
