Not only is it irritating to scroll past paragraph after paragraph of postings that those of us on the list have specifically requested not be posted (if I want to read about politics, for instance, there are no shortage of places to do so; I don't care to have it foisted on me here, even if I am only scrolling past it), but I am also impatient when people don't delete parts of posts they are not replying specifically to -- so I have to scroll again past entire posts I've already read. > I don't understand why you > get infuriated when you have a choice. Digesters don't have a choice -- yeah we scroll by and don't read, but we shouldn't have to in the first place. It's just as Ken said -- some people know damn well the joni-only list is not for their political rants, but they steamroll over everybody else anyway. It's rude, it's disrespectful, and damn right it's self-serving. I'm not talking about accidentally forgetting the njc. Everyone does that once in a while, and that doesn't call for ripping their skin off. It's the deliberate "Screw you guys, I'm taking over the soapbox" attitude of people who Just Can't Believe that *everyone* is not interested in everything they themselves care about. For god's sake -- we understand you need to tell *someone* but please go tell someone who is willing to listen! Kate http://xoetc.antville.org
