Hello everyone. 
 
I have been receiving NUMEROUS complaints about the off-topic messages that
have been abounding here.  While we have always been a friendly, chatty
echo, I feel that I must listen to the complaints.  The complaints have not 
been
over the problems we all face from time to time, but over the postings of
how hard it is for some to make it through the day.  While we all care about
each other (at least I hope that we do) these postings will cease.  Effective
January 1, 1998 there will be no tolerance anylonger for these messages.  If
your son/daughter are getting married, you have to have surgery, a relative
has to have surgery, dies, etc these you can post on.  However, the daily
struggle messages can not be posted.  Sorry folks, but there are other echos
out there that are for this kind of chatter.  So, make your messages crafty! 
Tell us what crafts you are doing, what you have made lately, etc.   
 
Remember, January 1, 1998 is it!  No more off-topic daily struggle messages
after then.
