Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Dear Group, We have posted about 22,000 articles. We have about 1800 members. We get about 100 coming and going each month. They come for many diffeent reasons. They all have unique viewpoints and expectations. Unfortunately some of them think that the group should be ran more in accordance with what they think it should be. I get letters complaining about the messages subjects. The areas covered and not covered. Posting restrictions, etc.. How they personally view and judge my views on religion, politics, my personality, my mind, my intent, the way that I dress, comb my hair, etc. I will try and address all of these concerns here. Basically, if you are unhappy with this group, please leave and find one more in line with what you want. I am not trying to be harsh, just direct. I am not going to change to please you. I doubt if you are willing to change to please me either. What I am considering is to convert this newsletter to a read only type newsletter. That should put an end to the expectations that many seem to bring here. It will then be on a more " want/ " or a " don't like/ " basis rather than a " I want you to change it " basis. This group and it's posting was never meant to be all things to all people. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Thank you for all the wonderful useful information. I am extremely grateful for all your time and energy and forward your stuff to many friends. Please ignore all criticism: it is the nature of life that people just cannot help trying to be in control. I would not object to " read only, " just please do not stop with the education.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Kim, that is news to me about the delete button. As far as I know, the only posts one can delete on a board are one's own. I have very occasionally wished there was an " ignore " button, but there is not one of those, either. I have extraordinarily few problems with posts on this board, though. It's a fine one! Good ole Abraham Lincoln said " A man can be about as happy as he wants to be. " It's true.

I think he would mean the delete button on his pc as he reads this group as individual emails, as I do. regards Persian -- " We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feather so badly that, beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the devil in human form " - William Ralph Inge " The human body has no more need for cows' milk than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk or giraffes' milk.
