I have to agree... we don't have a 100+ message per day volume here where it 
is impractical for anyone with a life to keep current.  The few messages that 
do come in are a welcome sign of life.  We don't have a problem with the 
grunge kiddies marching in typing "Zlayer r00lz"... the threads, while not 
being completely midi-only, are more closely related than threads in many 
other echos.
My personal philosophy is that an echo is like a corner in a store catering 
to the title of the echo... when we walk into a music store, our primary 
conversational focus is going to be on the equipment sold there.  We'll stray 
for a few minutes here and there, but we'll always come back.
C-ya! Rich
