I vote no to the merge between UseNet and FidoNet.  Reasons are as follows:

1) The 5 line headers, big quotes, 1 line reply and 5 line footers are a bit
   too much to haul around and to view.

2) This echo was just the right size to keep up with.  Now, its much too large 
   for me to stay on top of.  It is looking like the Echo Gaming Area (ie size
   and number of messages transfered in and out each day).

3) A lot of the usenet material, so far, is much different than the content we
   are used to here on FidoNet OS/2.

Why can't we just create a separate usenet os/2 echo?  Seems to make sense to
me!  I guess my biggest problem is item number 1.  If we do keep it (and there
are some good messages coming in), can we at least kill some of that header/
footer data)?
