I'm slightly puzled - what sort of person subscribes to a list where 99%
of emails bores them rigid? How many masochists are there on GP-UK? .
Why can't we accept that there are *always* going to be some emails that
bore us? some threads that are stimulating? and that there are some
members of the list who will manage to turmn *any* subject into a set of
cheap jokes? (only posting this because I'm about to suspend.. and
*won't* be checking the archives.) .
*I* continue to subscribe because I find it interesting, stimulating
(encourages my ulcers no end!) - and the help I've received has made it
very valuable.. thanks, everyone... even worth ploghing through the
trivia exchanged by old friends in public! . . (save your comments for
.. x weeks.. See previous remarks!)
I wonder whether I could make a *serious* point ( if there's anyone who
hasn't pressed the delete button by now.. .)
Threads seem to be taken over by frivolous comments... without changing
the name of the thread.
Is there any way of identifying the probability of a follow-on email
belonging to this group - given that most of the worst offenders ofen
have very pertinent or interesting comments?
Mary
PS following Jel's comments previously, should we discourage smileys?
I've just gone throught this and replaced all the smileys with "."
Would smileys change your understanding of this message?
Please postpone any *serious* replies until I resubscribe... .!
