I share your opinion Tony. It has become like some kind of chat room...
mails with nothing but smilies... lmao's... mails INTENTIONALLY opening
private chats on the list. "I don't need his address... I use the list
instead."
There's a purpose for the list and it's not person-to-person chats about
"everything and some fishing". (That was the way I understood it.) There's
no NEED to reply to everything that comes in... just for the sake of it...
verifications of that it has been read can be sent offline. The address is
right there.
I've been asked 'Why don't I see you that often anymore?'... well, I hardly
even READ everything anymore. I see 25 new messages in my inbox and know
that "Five of these will be what almost everything was before... do I have
the energy to dig for it?"
Took a little peek at the posting statistics... July and forward:
* July: 293
* August: 476
* September: 579
* October: 629
* November: 898....... with another 12 days to go.
Kind of speaks for itself... November, 50 mails a day... same rate will be
1500 by November finish line..
I moderate Scandinavia's largest fly-fishing forum with about 3500 members
(lots of youngsters). You would maybe EXPECT a mailing list ('letters') to
be "cleaner" than that kind of open forum ('anonymous notes on the board').
Not necessarily so...
My two cents worth

Jim.
As long as you mentioned me in this message I will reply on list. I have no
problem, I have a D key. I am also sick and tired of all the messages with a
lot of crap. As soon as I send in the Christmas swap photos, I am out of
here. I have been with this list since day one but it is time to leave.

When I first bought and started using this PC - ALL my images, jpegs etc
were to large. My daughter brought the computer geek from work and in five
minutes; all images were in range and viewable.
ALL I said was it worked for me BUT MAY not for others and implied that it
could be thier settings. That is the first place I would have looked at (all
parties).
If Tony has a problem with what I said; let him respond to me and Mark. That
is not your responsibility!
In fact, it is time to drop the subject and go offline direct. I, for one,
an getting tired of seeing 40 resposes from one person. It was so nice for a
year or so.
May your GOD be your fishing partner.

You and Jim must have YOUR settings set to "fit to screen" on photos. FACT

too??? Chuck

Thing is though, you can downsize a pic in 30 seconds, and that way the ppl
looking at the pic don't have to scroll back and forth, right and left to
see the pic of the flies, Chuck

yeah, i know.........at least to some degree that's the
problem..................but hell, if i can get to where one "GOOD" pic is
all i need, then that won't be a problem...............not to mention
down-sizing is just one more thing that takes time and makes the whole
process just that much more time consumming and a pain in the ass.
tye the fly.....take the pic.....etc., etc., etc., etc.,..........by the
time your getting some feedback..........jesus h., you've got "How" much
time invested................lmao. i know, i know...........bithc bitch
bitch.....lol.
