Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hi, as there have been a number of replies to Rife Forum messages via E-Mail to this Rife Group, let me remind you all (again) that such replies do not usually reach the person who wrote the original message (unless they just happen to be a member of this Rife Group, too). At present, new messages posted on the Rife Forum are also being reposted automatically to this group! Such messages are easy to recognise as they always have " [Rifeforum] ... " on the subject line and start with " Posted by: " In order to reply to such messages, simply click on the link given immediately after the post following " View online/Reply: " and you will be taken straight to the original message on the Rife Forum (provided you are a member of that forum of course). Then click on either " Reply " or " quote " in order to post your answer. That answer will of course also appear on this Rife Group like all such Rife Forum messages. Unfortunately, a number of people simply use the Reply button on their Email program which sends the reply to this Rife Group ONLY. Such badly placed replies messages are easy to recognise as they then have " Re: [Rifeforum] ... " on the subject line (a reply on the Rife Forum would have " [Rifeforum] Re: ... " instead). Such replies to THIS Rife Group ONLY is a BAD idea for the following reasons: 1. The original poster does get to see the answer to his question (unless they are a member of this group, too) or I have reposted the message on the forum manually (something I do not have the time to do at the moment)! 2. Even if the original poster IS a member of this group, other members of the Rife Forum (with more members than this group and growing a lot faster) will be missing the continuation of the message. They just see an unanswered question. The answers made here subsequently just get lost in the poor Yahoogroups archives. 3. Questions and answers on the Rife Forum have a much longer " life " than those posted here. On this Rife Group, people nearly always just discuss the subject of the day. Messages posted last month or even last year are very rarely commented on again as it is so difficult and frustrating to use the archives on Yahoogroups. Have you ever noticed here that the same questions often come back again and again where the poster has obviously not read the previous messages. Reading existing messages is very easy on the Rife Forum and that is why it is VERY IMPORTANT that proper replies to questions posted there actually are posted on that Forum and NOT (just) here. Once answered on the Rife Forum, it is unlikely that the same question will be asked again as people tend to read the existing posts on the Rife Forum, first! 4. Due to the automatic reposting of Rife Forum messages to this group, your reply reaches everybody rather than the select few on this group. 5. The members of the Rife Forum are much more likely to be professionals involved in serious scientific or medical research (a very obvious trend when I look at the members on both groups) and it would be advantageous to us all to let them join in on the discussions. They have good ideas and comments that we could all be benefiting from. I hope I have made myself clear as I hate to have to repeat this again and again. If it turns out that people on this group simply continue to ignore the idea of replying to messages on the Forum or group where they were ORIGINALLY posted, I will be forced to solve this problem by stopping the reposting of Rife Forum messages to this group. I simply do not have the time at the moment to keep an eye on this problem and repost messages on the Rife Forum that went here instead. I hope I have made the situation clear to everyone!
