Re: Directed messages

I agree that the biggest problem is trying to get the majority of members to
cooperate.

And thanks. Although my sanity seems to be fairly intact so far LOL.

Thread hijacking, one word responses (I.E. Thanks, ok, sure, etc.) trolling,
intentionally going off topic (thinking by simply putting OT makes it ok)
are all list manners no-nos.
What you list owners do is appreciated even though some do it better than
others... There's no way I'd be able to keep my sanity with running a list.
I'd probably try to reach through the screen after the third day to pop
someone in the chin who refuses to comply.
Good luck to you.

And as I'm discovering the bane of a list owner's existence as well LOL.

Hi,
If let's say, I speak about IPhone, and you then ask about the differences
between apple and android, yes, that is related. But I often see someone
asking something about gmail, and there's something totally unrelated
below.
Literally, all that needs to be done, is a select all, and delete.

I agree that you should start with a new message/subject if the topic is
completely unrelated to the original one, but I believe that modifying
the
subject with a reference to the original topic is acceptable if it is at
least related.

Hi,
Can I add 2 things, please?
Keep the original message, and if possible, please, when you start a
new
subject, and if a new thread, please, start a new message. I never
liked
when the subject says microwaves, but turns out that the microwaves
message became a new thread from used laptops, let's say.

I agree with this and I would also like to emphasize keeping subject
lines consistent in general. I.E. If you would like to begin a
different
discussion, simply start with a new message. Or if what you have to
say
is at least related to the thread to which you are responding, but may
significantly side track the conversation, at least change the subject
to
reflect this. I will have to work to follow this rule myself since I
have not always been careful enough in this respect.

Believe me, it is not my desire to cause a problem. But I am starting
to
see a problem on this list that frustrated me on the other list,
specifically Blindtech. I am talking about the practice of directing
messages to a specific individual in the subject line. I respectfully
suggest that if anyone wants to direct his message to an individual
that
he do so via private email. I say that because it screws up the
sorting
of threads badly when the actual subject is preceeded by the name of
an
individual.
