Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 The Coffee list *is* for things like tantrums, potty training and such stuff! It was set up originally because these subjects came up a lot on the Main List, but are not NCT business. I guess you could say that while this is the cyber equivalent to an NCT coffee morning, the main NCT list is the equal of a committee meeting. Lesley ------------- From: amanda Are there any groups missing? Do you think that there is a need for another group (linked to the nct or not)? one that deals with the terrible twos, toddler tantrums and such like, including potty training as well! as much as i like this coffee group i find that i am sifting through too much stuff that i can't read(Lack of time).

I think we all sift through info that doesn't deal with us. It's the info that does that is important Calvin will be potty training in a year (or two or three) and probably tantrumming in a few minutes (OK, not really tantrums yet, but...), so although I don't *need* to know about it right now, I am happy to hear peoples' personal experiences and hope that when I want to whinge about wee on the floor, that the experienced people here will listen and give me support. We can't have a seperate group for every aspect of our lives, that would be like having a different friend for every aspect of our lives and having to make a new friend before I could talk about the car I buy or something.

I received indiv emails (digests are IMHO spawn of the devil), sort by subject, and if I don`t have much time, I delete without reading any thread I`m not interested in. & only read what`s in the preview pane. BTW - that`s why it`s important to change the subject line if the subject changes! (I know everyone is quite good about that here!) Easy peasy!

No, try getting individual mails and using the delete key for threads you are not interested in. The whole point of this group is that we talk about anything and everything, just like a real coffee morning, and we can dip in and out of conversations as we would in real life. Subjects that were of no interest to me a year ago when I was focusseed on my newborn are now the items I home in on. And reading about subjects that you think you think you aren't interested in can be enlightening - I have this list to thank for a year of real nappy use now.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 I agree entirely Phyllis. This is, of course why it is *so* important that people change the subject line on messages then you can just choose to read the subjects that interest you. Cerys -----Original Message----- From: Phyllis I think we all sift through info that doesn't deal with us. It's the info that does that is important SNIP We can't have a seperate group for every aspect of our lives, that would be like having a different friend for every aspect of our lives and having to make a new friend before I could talk about the car I buy or something.
