    Just wanted Paul (Avon) to see that some people do read the history.txt file in the info packet for FSXNet. :)

    I took the bait had a look for that little easter egg instruction too. :(

    There it was.

    Good thing it was near the top of the file. I can't imagine reading the
    whole history log only to find the request near the bottom.

    What the network really needs is a kind of newsletter that brings the "history"/changes/network news and any other subtleties right up front.

    If I am good (and at the moment I am not) I usually post them to echomail as well... but am totally open to ideas you may have.

    There was also a mod that displayed the latest fsxNet news that points to a
    txt file in the infopack... I should/could update that also..

    I'll have to download the info packet from my BBS and check it out, looking
    for the secret messages. :)

    I do tend to read Avon's posts when he pastes it here, but I doubt I'll go
    out of my way to look at info packets unless I'm looking specifically for something.

    I thought Avon had basically been doing that with the various posts he made here about those sorts of things.

    I assume it's just gone by the wayside a bit due to his energies being
    focused elsewhere (for very good reasons, but even if they weren't...).

    Was that directed to me? If so, thank you! (blush)
