I'm probably in the minority as usual :)  I'm not sure more echos achieve
anything of consequence.  They tend to dilute the information flow.  I only
read general, I did pursue a few of the "new" echoes not long after they
appeared, but they appeared to be incapable of supporting themselves and I
just gave away reading them.

I also don't look at the info packs, just plod on with what I've got running,
extended nodelists have no value to me, its not like I can support netmail,
and more new echoes, meh.

In short I'm happy with network info flowing past in general.. moving info to
new locations makes it harder to find.
