One way to do it might be to have echos using gpg/pgp.

It's easy to define a group in gpg:

    edit gpg.conf
    add the following line at the end of the file

    group fsx_net = fingerprint1 fingerprint2 fingerprints

Then, create the message blocks using the group name.

The content doesn't matter. What matters is that access to an  
echo is controlled by its members.
