BACKBONE.NA is definitely being maintained... rossC was doing it before he left
 fidonet and benR is doing it now... the last BACKBONE.NA was sent out 18 Mar
2017 not long after the switchover from rossC to benR... that's also about the
same time that i was assigned as r18c and also brought on as the third backbone
 star...
