All good baker. How does this address the mindless FORWARDING of assorted tripe and drivel from various Yahoogroups?

Time to establish a thread limit? For example, if prolific posters want to aggregate/disseminate numerous news stories, it's more advantageous to the group that they be confined to one or two daily threads - as opposed to cluttering the board with numerous threads (topics). Especially when the same news topics are widely available on the net. I try to follow this approach myself, especially when posting quotes/ links to/in a related topic. This doesn't guarantee "discussion" of the specific subject per se, but it does acknowledge and respect the fact that other members may not share a similar interest. It's also helpful to the group when we revive dormant threads to re- address specific subject matter that's already posted, especially if the thread generated a discussion (i.e., interest). In the end, it's a lot easier to scan a single topic/header than to go back and forth between numerous threads. If you agree, we could to do this as a [voluntary] courtesy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
