I guess the problem is that we're losing people. Maybe that doesn't matter

to some of you, but it matters to me. Sandy

I am new here, but just had a little observation. Everyone seems pretty

concerned with the volume of mail generated by off topic post. Out of 66

post, at least twenty were in response to " concerning off topic

stuff " .roughly 30%. Another 10 posts were actually off topic. Is it

really so hard to wade trough a few off topic posts. I Know Id rather do

that than wading through all the stuff about how annoying off topic posts

are. Anyway, just my $.02.

For those people who desire a vaccination only discussion group, I think

that would be a wonderful idea.

THere is a group like this already!

Once again, the problem is not with the people willing to wade through these

OT posts. It is with the people who joined this group who did so because

they wanted to share information about vaccinations and feel so inundated

that they are leaving the list. Apparently hardly anyone cares that that is

happening. Or about whether or not there is a solution that THEY can live

with, not one that WE can live with. Sandy

No one is ever happy, and you can't make everyone happy. Some people are

very set in there ideas and are not flexible in how things should be and

others are, that is the way the world works. Everyone is busy some busier

then others, it would be nice if we just had tons of various info. day in

and day out for vaccines, but you know what, it appears we don't. So we talk

about other things pertaining to raising healthier children and when

something new comes up for vaccines we are all excited to share and learn in

the information. That is what OT post are about. Yes, we have lost people

because in my opinion they don't get the fact that their may only be one or

two things that come up for vaccines, and maybe some are so selfish to read

or answer anything that doesn't have to do with what the need, doesn't

interest them. I say see ya. We are not the majority, we are the minority a

lot of people are here for support in there decision for a lot of things not

just to VAX. It is not my decision to change things, I am not the list

owner, nor do I think things need to be changed, except maybe the group name

to vaccinations support groups.

Is that the same one I was just told about earlier today, the one has? Sandy

I'm feeling a bit like a broken record here. But it seems to me we could have the best of both worlds if we formed two groups with the same people. Those who want to be on both groups would say so. And those who want to be only on the vaccination group would indicate that. We wouldn't need to get to know another new group. this is already available--nicole has a VACCINE INFO ONLY list that lists just the info--none of the ot posts and (stupid--said sarcastically...) chitchat brigit
