   I deleted everything else for simplicity.   
      
   The focus of your posts has been seemingly Google search and landing page to   
   explain echos, BBS, and the like.   
      
   I've been saying you need something before that to get people to the point of   
   even knowing what to search for.   
      
   Going through your reply here, you finally acknowledged that you need to get   
   the word out so people know what to search for. That's all that I've been   
   saying.   
      
   So we're mostly on the same page, but the focus was different. Good.   
      
   Now as far as the quotes above:   
      
    AA>>> One step at a time. The first step.. join an echo. Then they    
    AA>>> "learn" the unique terms and further possibilities.   
      
    CP>> First Step: Learn about BBS and Echos. Then join.   
      
   Again, my point is How do you join an echo without having learned about BBSes   
   and echo's first?   
      
   I'm not actually disagreeing with you. I'm just focused more on the fact that   
   people need to learn about it's existence than on a nice looking web page for   
   them to find when they have learned enough to search for more information.   
      
   Maybe once they learn about it, they experience some echo conversations   
   through Telegram. Maybe the get introduced through a BBS's Web Interface,   
   maybe something else that hasn't been thought of yet.   
      
   But the simple fact of the matter is that you have to find a way to get people   
   interested, or the rest of it is an exercise in futility.   
      
   That's where my focus is.
