e-mail lengths - try reding/posting form the site

[Guest guest]

Wendy,

 

I was not disagreeing with you or others on trimming messages, i

totally agree and it is list policy anyway to trim WHEN possible

unless it take away from continuity of the response. Sometimes it is

hard for others to follow the trend of thought if they have to go

back and read all the previous posts to fingure out what is being

discussed too. I know i try to do my own part; when i log in each

morning and on Mondays, i try to read all posts on subjects before i

respond, so i hopefully dont double post and only post on the same if

i have something additional to add.

 

AGAIN...It was merely a suggestion and Lauren has a good one too

about filtering to a segregated folder if you use Outlook (you can do

this in and Hotmail as well). I switched to digest mode for a

while and found it still took up way too much time, to get thru

chains on subjects i was NOT interested in, scrolling down, etc and

too much space in my email box. Again, it's really a matter of

preference, and not everyone is going to get or see things exactly

the way they want.

 

There are close to 2000 members now, and the number of posts is only

going to increase due to new members, as will the number of digests

you receive in the day and their respective lengths. Alot of new

people will need to learn to trim but they dont always know or

remember in their enthusiasm to share/post. Also, there are many

types of people and cultures here, some dont always post things that

we understand, or even care to see, but as a group, we need to be

understanding and tolerant of this.

 

Suggestions are what this list is about too and are just

that " Suggestions " and should be welcomed them as an OPTION not as

instruction. Love, nuturing and encouragement are such an integral

part of the list, IMO some of the posts on this subject have been

lacking in that.
