Is this a "chat room" or what?!
Michael Maersch 2005-Oct-13 14:02:00
Sorry if this is ruffling any feathers with this post, but is it only
me or does this list serve seem to continuously flirt with being more a
chat room than an actual vehicle for sharing information among members?
Don't get me wrong. Time and again I -- we all -- learn a lot from
members' comments to another's problems. And some of the
experimentations, the members who truly "think outside the box" provide
inspiration to us all (SEE: <http://www.panodrom.de/Extrem/bottle.html>
for one recent, primo example).
But this constant chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat: personal responses
to someone else's post (grrr)... Do we ALL need to be part of it?!
Unless someone out there has found more than 24 hours in a day -- it
takes time to wade through the pratter: "Oh cool!", "Congradulations!
Can you show me more pictures of the wedding (the new kid, the new dog,
the new house" -- whatever!) with nothing at all to gain from the
public exchange.
Can't personal tidbits be left to an off-list exchange and leave the
list to sharing information?
(No, really. I've had several cups of coffee already and I've had my
first Ritilin tab for the day -- if it seems I'm being a bit "cranky"
here...)
