Hey Paul, shouldn't you have changed the subject line of this email to posting rules or something?

Dana and all,

 

As moderator and rabid organization structuretarian, I offer the following advice:

 

Probably the best way to go about organizing this information is to post different messages about each topic with a subject title that sets it apart from the other ideas.

This gives other participants the ability to stay on track and involved in one scheme and keep clear of the others. It will be up to you, Dana in this case, to manage your separate ideas as separate conversational threads.

 

One of the best ways to visualize how I see this working is to view the web mirror of this list at

http://www.mail-archive.com/freedom-edu%40lists.colorado.edu/

Each topic, as defined by subject is cascaded below the main message. If one of the participants of one of the sub-threads breaks off into a new subject area � THEN IT IS UP TO THEM TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

 

I am shouting because the lists that you all have been on before were un-threaded, and know one knew that this was a possibility. Therefore it was very messy. I beg of you, that if you are having a conversation about the economy and it changes to military spending, then it is time to change the subject line.

 

In any case, back on topic myself, the best way to keep all of these ideas straight and separate is to post them as separate points, and let others respond in kind.
