You're not the only one :)

 Ga> 
 Ga> FSX_RET
 Ga> FSX_GAM

Because it would mean essentially creating new echomail areas and I don't want to impose that on folks.

 Ga> So that they match the "format" of all the others?  Haha!  Not a HUGE

Back in the day all the echomail area tags I was creating were using that FSX_XXX format but in more recent additions to echomail areas some folks encouraged me (and I listened) to use tags that were more clearly understandable/reflective of the content being carried by the echo.


So.. yeps I created a few such as the ones we're discussing... but I think in the future any new ones I create will likely revert to the older FSX_XXX convention...

Yay for OCD :)
