Jeff, you're a stitch! White squirrel named Mr. Schwump! That's how our hometown enters all facets of our lives when we're devoted fans, huh?! I'd love to see that photo, honest. I get comments often about the bumper sticker I have that says Make America Mayberry Again and all are positive! And I agree with the estimation of how inappropriate it was for Helen to be sitting beside Frank Smith in the diner booth. I was shocked but then the writers had her often treating Andy unfairly; I never quite understood that. Oh well.

Re: Delay in postings appearing in the digest
I don't know why this is, but I have noticed that sometimes when I write a long post to the digest, it can be several days after I've sent it before it actually appears in a future digest. Earlier this week, Ken posted a question about how many times we see cameras or pictures being taken on TAGS. I wrote a response that same day and sent it, but it still has not appeared in the digest. My response was lengthy, so I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it. But when it finally appears (as I hope it does), it will look like I wrote my response after seeing all the answers other people posted, when in fact I wrote mine before seeing anyone else's response in the digest. I'm wondering if there is some technical reason for this? I know this has happened before. It's just a little annoying when you've tried to reply right away, only to look like you're "late to the party."

Digest Postings
I joined WBMUTBB? about sixteen years ago, to the best of my recollection. I read the digest every day and try to post from time to time. It's easier to post when there is lots of activity because then there is usually something that I want to respond to. When there is less activity, there's not much to respond to, so I confess that I don't post as much as I did in the past. When there have been periods of low activity, I've tried to help spur interest in posting, but I don't spend time every day trying to come up with things to post. I just have too many other things to do. I don't mind the alumni postings. However, since we don't have TV, I don't often see actors from TAGS on other shows. I usually read the posts, but if I'm not interested that day, I just skip over them. I also did not mind the question about least favorite TAGS episode. I don't think that invited a "hate fest." Rather, it was a discussion opener. I don't recall people making many negative comments. Mo st stuck to the spirit of the question. The one about other shows, true, was a little off base, but I thought it was a fun question and did participate in that one. I do appreciate that Allan strives to keep our digest a positive, friendly place, and I think that's important. On the other hand, we don't want to take it to such an extreme that it stifles interesting discussion. I think if people just try to avoid being unduly critical or going on rants, we are usually okay. At the same time, if we try not to be overly sensitive, it helps, too. In other words, if we all just try to be considerate of one another and if we just skip over posts that we don't like or aren't interested in, we can keep things in the spirit of Mayberry. Does that sound reasonable? I would really like to see more activity on the digest, but I fear that social media is to blame for the decrease in posts. On the one hand, it's nice that we have more opportunities to interact with other TAGS fans and shar e our "compelsion" with others. I myself belong to at least four TAGS groups on Facebook, and I do participate a good bit there. The immediacy of Facebook allows us to get involved in more give and take, and I like that. However, the digest serves an important function, and I would hate to see it go the way of the horse and buggy. Though the digest lacks the immediacy of social media, it allows us to make longer, more involved posts, at least sometimes. In the past, I've gotten into discussions on the digest about, for example, how Barney's character changed after he left Mayberry to become a detective in the big city of Raleigh. The digest allows for more in-depth discussions than a Facebook group, I think, because you have the time to reflect and compose your post. You don't feel you have to make just a brief, snappy comeback. The question is whether enough members want to take the time to send an e-mail, rather than just make a quick comment on social media. So I want to make a challenge to our members. I just took a look over at www.imayberry.com, and I see that we have 1,204 members. That's a lot! And yet only a handful of people actually post to the digest. I know there are many members who read the digest daily but never post. If you've never posted to the digest, why not give it a try? You might tell us who your favorite character is or your favorite episode or the reason you love TAGS--or whatever comes to your mind. If more people posted instead of just reading, we'd have a lot more activity on the digest and we would have a lot more variety in the kinds of posts. That would prompt more people to respond, and maybe we could keep it up. Allan does a lot of work to run the digest and the web site, and we really ought to make better use of the wonderful resources we have available to us as fans. Sorry for such a long post!!

RE: WBMUTBB Digest postings
Ok, I've tried and tried and tried, and all I get is heartache, to get this right but apparently the system doesn't want to cooperate. Every time I copy a line from a posting and respond, my post has all the sentences slammed up together. It doesn't happen when I email someone but only when I respond to the Digest. For example I copy the line We all love Barney Fife. I insert it in the response email as We all love Barney Fife, to indicate I'm reposting a line from a previous Digest. Then I hit space bar several times and return several times and insert my response Yes we do, don't we? But when the next Digest comes out it is published as We all love Barney Fife. Yes we do, don't we? And there are no blank lines between the reposted line and my response. This doesn't make sense and I know some are wondering what the heck is she talking about? So, I will not be sending any more posts until someone can help me or Allen figure out what's going on. See you all in the funny papers.

RE: WBMUTBB Digest postings
You need to stop using HTML in your email and use plain text. The Digest only allows plain text so it converts any special formatting back to plain text. When the software on the Digest side does that for you, strangely formatted emails are the result. I'm getting that is the problem. You'll want to Google your email client to see how to do only plain text. I'm sure there is a way to do that with hot mail, Harriet. I think this link may help. http://email.about.com/od/hotmailtips/qt/et_plain_text.htm ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
My Frequent Postings
I figured out why I post so many messages on the Digest. I have a digest posting compellsion. You know like people who wash their hands all the time. That's a hand washing compellsion, or people who get haircuts all the time. That's a haircut compellsion. Well mine is a digest posting compellsion. There was an article in the Sunday magazine section in our paper today and it was about compellsions. Have you ever known a Sunday paper magazine section to be wrong? I am going to try mosaics or else basket weaving as a cure. I hear they are great safety valves. So just thought I would let you know there won't be any post on the digest from me today.

Ken's postings and Mayberry Moment
Ken, please don't assume we don't want to read your postings. As I've told you privately before, we both grew up in a very Mayberry-like small town - you in Wisc. and me in Mont. - which shared lots of similarities to Mayberry. But your writings are wonderful and heartwarming, so don't feel like you need to refrain from writing. We enjoy them. I also had a Mayberry Moment last night. While watching Shreck 2 (animated movie) with my daughter, I noticed that a couple of the charachters asked a question and then continued to ask huh? several times - just like Warren used to. These cartoons are written by adults and have lots of funny adult humor in them, but I didn't expect a Tags reference. I wonder who the writer of that line was - he must be a fan!

Replying to postings
what I do is click reply and delete the part that aren't relevant and keep the rest. Or I simply click command A to highlight it all and delete the entire thing, as I did here. You're going to WAY too much trouble. Highlight and copy the part of the posting you wish to respond, then double click on WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com that's at the top of EACH posting and there you go. If the Eubocker boys can do it, anyone can.
