   Hi Charles!

   An upgrade on layout would be good, especially when reading through the   
   various echos of a network.   
      
   I think there is only one Sychronet bbs that organizes the echos into   
   categories first: Technical, Entertainment, Sysop, GeneralChat, etc.. and then   
   all the echos spanning any of the other networks are featured in those   
   categories.   
      
   Most BBSes organize by network, and then just list the echos. A user does not   
   always have a clear idea what echo is for what.  And then they have to look   
   for the same thing in the next network.   
      
   The default Sychro webby-thing is a good example.  Unless the user has the   
   habit of using Ctrl-F to look for a string (chat, food, computer, books,   
   music, etc) they are spending far too much time looking at a long list,   
   missing something, and give up.
