Again, this message is completely off-topic in this echo. ASKACOP is not 
about changing our form of government, forming collectives, forming communes, 
establishing bartering systems, or whatever you might come up with next that 
has nothing to do with ASKACOP. I actually enjoy reading many of your 
messages, but they have nothing to do with this echo and they are off-topic. 
If you placed these messages in the proper echo, I'm sure they would be very 
popular. I'll try to locate several echos for you where these topics are 
appropriate. I'm sure that the participation in the discussion would be much 
greater in an echo where your messages would be on-topic. I have several 
emails and netmails about your off-topic messages. First, System Operators 
pay to bring their mail in, and they choose echo areas the users of the 
system request. System Operators don't appreciate having to pay for messages 
that are off-topic. System Operators also don't like the complaints from 
their users that their topic is no longer being discussed in their favorite 
echo. Many people have limited time and have no desire to wade through 
off-topic messages. These and other reasons are why there is more than 1 
echo out there in FIDO land. Many people choose their echos just like they 
choose their music, magazines, etc. They don't want to waste their time or 
money on something they have no interest in. Echos used to be called SIGs, 
and they still are by many people who have been around for awhile (SPECIAL 
INTEREST GROUPS). Please consider this to be another pleasant request to 
refrain from posting off-topic messages in ASKACOP. Your assistance in this 
matter would be greatly appreciated.
