To which Commodore Clifford replies...

I absolutely agree with this....

Especially now that even many of the die-hards are owning multiple
systems.  The war is over and the old soldiers drink together at the bar.
I was an Atari guy all these years, but now I have the
Apples/Commodores/etc.  Why not have one place?  And if the echo gets
"too big" then break it up again.

That's the other reason I really like FsxNet... It resists the urge to
get too big for its own usefulness.

After all, who needs 20 echos for the same topic, each from a different
net?
