There are no 'special characters' in the backboned echotag AFTERSHOCK

Could there be an extraneous character in your setup maybe?

From BACKBONE.NA:

AFTERSHOCK          The International AFTERSHOCK Android Client.

From my bbbs config over here:

X AFTERSHOCK                    Fido.AFTERSHOCK [akas] [nodes]

Take care,
Janis
