I guess we all need to remind each other periodically that it's SO easy to
just hit "reply" when making a comment on a posting but when the subject
changes so should the subject line change.
If the subject of Prince's Band moves to Facebook and the post has nothing
to do with Prince's band, please change the subject line to "Face book".
That way, if those who have the time to read every post want to discuss
Facebook they can. But id they are only interested in Princes Band they can skip
it. Really... it only take a MOMENT to READ the subject line and change it
before replying and it really is courteous to others on the list.
I've deleted some whole threads here when the subject line didn't interest
me and I may have missed some "good stuff". This also goes for the "need"
that some folks have to just post a "Thank you". All the posts here are
archived and some folks actually use the search to find info. That extra step
will make for a more useful newsgroup. ;-)
Somehow I think this post will generate replies from those who post daily
(sometime more than daily) though I hope not. Most newsgroups I'm on - that
are moderated (ARSClist isn't - send a "monthly update" reminder re: group
netiquette, which is helpful.
Thanks for reading.
