I'm not sure if you are still taking suggestions on ways to improve this 
echo, but I'd like to suggest one. When I started reading and participating 
in this echo, it was like talking to a bunch of friends and there was a good, 
friendly, nice attitude around here. However, I think the attitude and whole 
"vibe" in general around this echo has changed signifigantly in the past 2 or 
3 months and it continues to get worse. It seems like most everbody around 
here has a demeaning attitude when it comes to replying to messages. I 
hesitate to single one person out in particular, but it seems like ever since 
he has started writing in this echo, everybody else has gone on the defense. 
I know that almost all of us in this echo, including myself, are guilty of 
these demeaning replys that mostly question the intelligence of the original 
message writer. I guess my main point is that flaming has gotten out of hand 
around here. I'd like to ask that the rules are enforced a little bit more. 
I.E. if somebody keeps flaming, kick them out of the echo. I AM ASKING 
EVERYBODY IN THIS ECHO TO STOP THE FLAMING. This is a free place for 
everybody to discuss their opinions about console games. We SHOULD all be 
friends here and most of the flames are NOT something that one would say to 
their friends.
     If anybody agrees with me, reply to this message or write me in Netmail. 
Thank you, Troy, and everybody else who took the time to read this letter and 
agrees with me.
