I understand people can't forget what has happened (even though it was drug out
entirely too long in the first place, IMHO). Why not vent in private netmail
and leave the echo to be used for what it was intended for, at the very least?
The only people that really want to hear about it are the people that were
involved anyway.

Exactly. Doesn't that make anyone question if this was even worth it in the
first place? Nothing was fixed, and it only made things worse. I saw the
crossposts yesterday which temporarily brought everyone back together, too.
Nothing is fixed. It only made the animosity stronger. :(

Yes, but since as of now (again) this echo is only limited to Z1. Can't things
be "cooled down" in private netmail, rather than still in the echo? I thought
the whole point was to bring this echo back to what it was intended for? The
only people still taking digs at the other zone(s), and supposedly "cooling
down" are the original people that were involved in the first place. Noone else
notices this? 

All I'm stating, is that nothing has changed except there is no responses from
the other zones. Now it's just totally one-sided. I can't help but notice that
nothing has really been done to fix anything, but now we are cut off from the
rest of the world. *shrug*

Good luck with that. All this has done is upset the other zones even more than
they already were, as far as I can tell.
