[Lowfer] Raining on the parade

Mon, 21 Oct 2002 18:46:38 -0500

I like it the way it is now. I have a delete key. I can understand that
others don't like a zillion messages of nothing pertaining to them every
day, but I just dig through what I want and the rest get the kill button. I
like how we seem to be like neighbors and a family of some sort. It is more
personal and it appears that we share more information this way. This is
kind of like a big meeting where a person listens (reads) what they want to
and ignores (deletes) what they don't want to hear (read).

Les,

I might suggest that the crazy guys having most of the fun (typically the
185.3ers these days) communicate all our signal reports serious or straight,
not though this reflector, but via our own CC circle. Is that what you had
in mind? We did this a bit over a year ago when the HiFer band got hot. One
of the negatives is that newbees and the not-so-active viewers are left out.
I suppose there could be a code of conduct established that says anything
funny gets sent to this circle and anything straight goes to this reflector,
but this gets complicated.

As the new season approaches I would appreciate comments from all on this
idea or anything else good or bad about past activity on this reflector. No
grudges amongst any of us is allowed, OK?

Bill Ashlock (in a rare, serious, mode)
