know if I agreed with it.  I just put out what Lucas said.  And boom, it
seems like almost everyone agrees (not everyone, but most) and people at
work (that I don't know that well but talk with) thought it always WAS a
title when I brought it up.  Hutt is not a race.  Lucas said it is a
title, what more do you need?

assistant: War
But if we end this discussion, then we should end the Hutt discussion,
and the Fett discussion, and all the other discussions.  The echo is
pretty pointless if everything people don't agree on is stopped.  I
personally do not think that entire "Sancutary Moon" thing should still
be banned.  It did go into a flame war, but none of these topics have
yet, and if that debate came back perhaps we could handle it as well as
we are handling all of this.  Some messages concerning these debates
have been more on the "hot" side, but nothing like a flame yet.  I think
most of us are capable of handling it.  And remember, this is for
everyone, if it does annoy you, then don't read them.  I know there
is/was a debate going on about TIE's and their solar engines and about
how fast light goes and all of that, I read some, found it not
interesting, and stopped reading those.
For me, right now, I still feel like writing to some about the Fett
thing, and about the ANH/SW thing, if my urge goes away I'll stop, but
others should be able to go on.
If we did away with all the messages with stuff that has been being
debated for awhile this echo would have a severe message drop.
