the style of the post, below, is
appreciated--it simply, but effectively, recognizes the fact that
most detailed data, reporters info, corollary pics, etc., are
best left to be viewed on their original servers--topics of interest can be
isolated and addressed here via 'cut and paste' (e.g., of specific quotes) and
by summarizing
ftr, one of my pt jobs is the 'Web master' of http://coloradoover50baseball.org ;
usually, on such sites/servers the Web master includes a method
to e-mail the link in question to someone who may be interested in the
contents of that Web page--IMO, good web masters won't allow material over
load on narrow avenues of already high volume Web traffic,
even if the info in question is theirs and, in their estimation, the content
is 'very good stuff'
also, now addressing another
aspect of TT posting that DavidM asked me concentrate upon, partic for myself,
'traffic' goes beyond foregoing issue, the length, volume or quantity of info
posted--it has to do with the quality of
(my) posts
maybe other TT posters will take
it to heart (while i do) to give preference to posting wisely in less
posts as opposed to numerous less valuable (perhaps 'junk')
replies to a miscellaneous variety of posts--e.g., jt is getting pretty
good at posting this way, i think
ftr, David Miller, the TT list
owner, is suggesting to try to summarize the variety of posts
that interest you into a key concept or an outline of concepts to focus
upon, to quote correctly, and, therefore, to answer more wisely--perhaps a
few less soda pops per week consumed, more meat per week
to eat, in sum
the (nutritional) wisdom of
t/his request seems to be that though disagreements persist and always
will, the actual points of disagreement are important to focus
upon--it means that brevity is cool, but it's not necessary; waxing eloquently, at
length, is fine, not necessary, but you, the poster/s, addressing
key ideas consistently, thoughtfully, is crucial to actual 'truth
talk'
if necessary, one may
retreat from posting--no problem; this means feel free to be quiet for a while
to think more about what matters most to y/our readers; please consider them as v busy people, who,
like we do, also have some precious time to spend
reading
let's make it something
worthy of their time and effort--like taking y/our writing relatively seriously is
likely to improve the quality and reputation of
our list
your comment, interaction with
the post above, by Gary Ottoson, the current moderator of Truth Talk, is
requested--privately, if you prefer, or publicly, within the
forum
cordially,

Here is another eyewitness from the Mesa AZ LDS Easter PagNotice how Mormons phrase things such as handing out pamphets on a sidewalk, which becomes "he terrorized my family on the way to Church chasing us down the sidewalk" in a attempt to appeal to your emotions. Help I have been terrorized by words on a Pamphlet!
