Hello Dale,

Why should the Elist reject applications from points *OR* users. One
does not have to be a nodelisted sysop to be the moderator of an echo.

I would say that it doesn't. But I would sure hope that 1:234/567 or 1:999/99999999 for example, would trigger a fail. The echo creator or seeder whether a user or not, would be associated with *some* nodelisted system, at first. However, maybe later that system could go offline, and the original user would have to find anothe system to continue with ELIST updates if necessary. But the first submission should test for a valid NL address, IMHO.

I don't suspect ELIST submissions would ever rise to DDoS proportions, but with

a simple check like that the receiver doesn't get fake submissions.
