Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Out of consideration for all our members, especially our Digest people who must scroll through gads and gads of duplicate message, and those folks who pay for local phone service by the minute (which can be very expensive), I encourage our members to delete duplicate messages by way of *cut and paste* and *snip*. The following message is from a Manager of another *old and very active* Yahoo Board: " Just a friendly reminder to please follow the list rules about deleting unneeded quoted text and all message footers, Yahoo ads, list footer etc. Your recent message to the list (quoted below) contained large amounts of unnecessary quoted text and quoted list footers which makes it very difficult for digest readers to find the replies and very expensive for people who pay for local phone service by the minute (most of Europe) .................. " With this in mind, we send out reminders here and there; but we go somewhat easy with the hopes that our members will pick up some tips along the way. Unfortunately, we have been criticized for this procedure; but then again, we have been criticized for not blasting the members who ignore formatting/deleting...... you just can't win! And you certainly can't please everyone........we just do the very best we can! Anyway, again could we *gently* ask you all to make an effort to delete that part of the message you are not responding to. If you are having a problem doing so, don't sweat it. I too fall into the non-savy computer category - and I rely on Bobby a good deal of the time......thanks again Bobby! BTW, Kudos to our Moderators. These are volunteers with full time jobs who so generously give their time and energy to us so that our group may flow nicely on a daily basis. It's also to be noted, that all, except for one, are in NSR around the clock and one who has been cured. This has to tell you something about the dedication of this fine group of gentlemen. This is just something to keep in mind if you're thinking about sending us a criticizing message. Also, keep in mind that a lot goes on behind the scenes that you couldn't possibly be aware of. We are constantly working for the best interest of the group as a whole - and we're doing a good job!!! As the description on our Home Page suggests, we are a kind, gentle and caring website and anything other than kind, gentle and caring, should be taken away from our Board. Another note here - it so nice to hear so many of you say you are so glad you found us ~~~~~~~ as Bobby often has to remind me - " that makes it all worthwhile " .

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Ellen, my thanks to you and the moderators who make this list possible. Where would I be without you?! I¹m sure many others feel the same gratitude that I do. Again, thank you for sharing your precious time and invaluable experience! -- Kathleen Stept (Diltiazem 120 mg, Coumadin 5mg, baby aspirin), , Mississippi > > BTW, Kudos to our Moderators.
