Yes thanks, that's the emerging theme coming out of the received feedback so far... and the value of posting most stats etc. to the website vs echomail. I do like the idea of a weekly echomail post covering network stats... that's what we used to do (from memory) and I remember posting to the echos their stats also... don't think it return to that bit but look to keep some weekly summary into one echo that could accept such stuff (on paper) :)

Yep agreed

True also.
