    To be fair, the subject matter is supposed to be a little
    different. This

    Understand vis - visa the subject matter. The main thing
    I like about this ECHO is as mentioned above, the topics
    usually start out with an actual objective news article,
    if people want to follow up with a subjective response
    they can. So far it seems to keep things focused.

    This echo "works" encouraging conversion because there is a
    good "seed" from some actual news story. But primarily because
    the moderator does a little work to plant something that might
    be of interest to talk about.

    The echoname CONSPRCY here doesn't really mean much. It could
    just as well be AAABBBCCC. ;) We're not really reading
    conspiracies. The key is there a "seed".

    Actually, I think the moderator has passed on. I am just another user
    posting stuff.

    Most of what I post is about things that are not a conspiracy by
    themselves... government controls on the internet (information control), AI, robots... but that are things that might make someone more conspiracy
    minded go "hmmm..." ;)

    It just goes to show to the naysayers of dead echos, that a
    little bit of content like that can stir the conversation.

    Anyone can do it, not just a listed moderator.
