I'm not trying to blame anyone Joe. My biggest issue was that overload

the posts anyway as I know they won't interest me. :-)
You all can say anything you like on the list, I've always been a
proponent of that.
However sometimes it can get a little silly. What if everytime
someone displayed a photo and it was commented on, they posted an
individual thank you to each and every person that made a comment?
That does happen sometimes. We can easily fill up bandwidth, both
electronic and human with relatively meaningless chatter that has
nothing to do with photography or is utterly trivial, and it can
become burdensome at times.
And no Jostein, as I said, my motivation wasn't to bring any one down.
I was simply feeling some frustration with the level of idle banter I
was having to handle.

Tom, I honestly don't understand what is wrong with "Thank you" emails
or "Happy Birthday" emails or "Congratulations on your new
book/photograph/publication/price" emails. Especially so given the
presence of the "delete" button.
It is however rather rude or impolite to express one's displeasure with
these messages as a response to someone's birthday greetings. In fact,
just as easily a new thread could have been started thereby keeping
birthday greetings to birthday greetings and (meta)discussion thereof to
the separate thread.
