Hi there

It's been nearly a year since we added a bunch of new echomail areas to fsxNet and I figure it's a good time to review which are worth retaining and which should be removed.

Volume of traffic indicating interest in the subject etc. I think is a good indication but perhaps should not the only consideration.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on what echomail areas should stay/go/be added etc.

The most recent batch added were back on 25 May 2021
