Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Hi CHARGE list, I've been reading with interest the posts about list etiquette. Thank you Kim for bringing this up. I think we all love this list, and for many of us it has been a lifeline. But what each of us wants or needs from the list varies over time. I used to be very active, and tried to reply to nearly every post. But there were only about 50 of us on the list back then. Well, I can recall when there were fewer than that. At one time we had a policy where kept track of birthdays, and then reported them to the list on those days. It was a collective Happy Birthday from the list. Otherwise, I felt badly if I did not send a message saying Happy Birthday, and I'm sure others felt the same way, and the list was all Happy Birthday for a time. Not that we don't wish it, but it was a lot of effort to keep up. I get the digest version, and I skim the subject headings. If I see something that sounds interesting, I will scroll down to it and read it. What is a bit frustrating is that after a time the subject heading has lost its meaning. I read Kim's post about etiquette because the heading was Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I'm glad I read it, but it wasn't on that topic. My suggestion is that we keep the list just the way it is, but people work harder to keep the topic to the subject heading. And I like Kim's suggestion that we may respond off list for more personal replies. I know I do more off list responding than I do on list. Just my two cents. Tim Hartshorne, father of Quote
