[Lowfer] Raining on the parade>let it pour!!!

[WE0H]

My quarters worth...
Sniff. I don't see what the trouble is. To each his own, but I could give a
crap if Ya'll sent me 10meg of email everyday. I got a fast delete key and
finger to go with it. I think it is annoying to not see anything on the
Friday nights and all through Saturday and Sunday. I enjoy hearing what's up
with everyone whether it's complaining or not, technical or BS. If I wanted
straight technical reading, I would pick up a book. There is nothing more
boring than a monotone discussion whether you're sitting in front of the
professor or reading it on the monitor. Let it rain & let it pour. Sniff.
73's,

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?

-------------------------------

I don't think that's it at all. Seems the issue is over the volume of
non-tech list posts, not necessarily an attack on "humor." As one
commented, it may have more to do with the signal to noise ratio ( my
terms ) of the posts.

I'll add that last week a near local asked how to be removed from the
list. He too offered the high amount of non-tech posts; I didn't
challenge his claim.

I believe what's at stake here is the loss of some LowFERS over reasons
such as these. That's an issue that shouldn't be casually dismissed nor
taken lightly.

Bill A.'s thought of applying a distinguishing ## to the subject tag is
a thought that still puts the Delete burden on the recipient. That may
be a start, maybe even in the right direction, but it doesn't eliminate
the real issue: the high volume. For those with a small HD, that's a
read concern and we may be cutting them off.
