Hi Frank,

 

I was struck some time ago by a quote

by Rush Limbaugh. He said, when

having a hissy fit over his listeners,

something like you just did, " The greater

the exposure, the lower the common

denominator. " Makes a lot a sense

to me.

 

Hope your day improves, Frank.

Remember, there will always be that 1 %.

Dear Group,

 

I am going to address the recurring theme that pops up now and then.

 

Over time, I have heard complains similiar to these about the posts on this

group.

 

I have a small mail box.

 

I can;t read them all.

 

I get a digest and it is too long.

 

I don't have time to read them all.

 

I want you to do_(whatever)_______to please me.

 

I want the group to discuss things on my level only.

 

and many more.

 

In this world nothing pleases everyone. And I am not here to please you.

 

I started the group because I wanted to have a place to discuss natural health

issues that were different and from a different perspective than most of the

groups out there.

 

I have explained this before. You don't like that answer. You want me to do it

differently. Not because you think it is better for the group. but better for

you the one person.

 

If you have a problem with the size of your mailbox, your ability to read, your

form that you choose to receive the messages, etc. Get one thing straight. It is

your problem. Period. Not mine and quit trying to push it off on me.

 

Get a different mailbox, change the way you receive the messages, go to the web

site and read selected messages, learn how to read, prioritize your reading of

selected messages, etc. Solve your own problem and quit trying to tell me or

this group we have to change to suit you.

 

If you do not like a restaurant you go somewhere else. If you do not like a

channel on a TV you change it to another one.

 

If you do not like this group, find a different one.

 

There are quite a few other group owners and moderators in this group. I do not

come to your groups and tell you that you need to change your groups to suit me.

So, what gives you the right to try that stuff here.

 

I will say this to all of the members in this group. I can't make it any

clearer.

 

If you like it stay.

 

If you do not like it,............leave, or go start your own group.

 

It is your choice,

 

In fact, I have a long list of pet peaves myself.

 

I am sick of people coming to the group and 2 days later telling me how to run

the group.

 

I am sick of the 5% who come to the group and spam it push their products.

 

I am sick of people who ask for help and don't have to courtesy to even address

the group with a salutation or even have the courtesy or courage to sign their

post.

 

I am sick of people that since they have a membership here, think that gives

them the right to post very stupid or off the wall posts.

 

I am sick of people who are self centered and expect everyone else to do

everything for them.

 

The group was supposed to be a place for like minded individuals to discuss

health. Not your personal servants at your beck and call.

 

You get some of the best information available on the web, you get it free,

instead of appreciating it, you whine and bitch. Waa Waaa. " But, I want it

different.

 

So go some place else, and get it different. No hard feelings.

 

I am the person most responsible for the long posts. I try and post most of the

article because I prefer to save it here if and when it is no longer available

on it's original site.

 

You want a synopsis of it. Write one yourselves. Who do you think you are

demading that someone else do it for you.

 

The biggest complainers are the ones that do the least work here. Nothing new in

that, most people who want the most from others are usually the ones who give

the least to others also. They just want the job of telling everyone else what

they should do for them.

 

I have been thinking for some time what to do about the group.

 

1. Make it smaller.

 

2. Make it bigger.

 

3. Delete the group entirely.

 

4. Restrict membership and posting privledges.

 

5. And others.

 

If the group does continue, this group will be a restricted group made up of

like minded people. If you aren't in that segment you should plan on going

elswhere. If not, it is possible that you will be removed from the group so

that the others of like mind can enjoy the group without the carping and

dissention..
