Thank you for saying this. There are a lot of people who read and
contribute to this newsgroup, and not everything is going to interest
everyone. I kill a lot of threads myself, not because I have deep
negative feelings about them, but just because I'm not that interested,
and I spend a lot of time on the computer as it is.

One question that nobody ever answers is, "Why do you (whomever I may
happen to be asking) believe that you must read every article posted
here?" That seems to be the underlying belief behind some people's
apparent need to control what is posted here (or on any open-ended
online community.

If people post things that offend me, my response is to offer an
argument against it, or to let the poster know why I feel offended.
But it's not my usual style to ask the person to stop talking about
it. If people aren't interested in my point of view and continue
saying things that I find offensive, I kill the thread.

If a subject simply doesn't interest me, I kill it right away. I
spend too much time on the computer as it is. One of the benefits
of online conversation is that unlike in a live conversation, you
can completely ignore parts of it without being rude. Why not take
advantage of that and ignore the stuff you don't feel like reading,
instead of telling people who are interested to stop talking about
it?

I'm serious. I would really like to hear serious answers to that
question.

Ok here's a serious answer; reading this thread digs up bones (country
song)
and pushes certain buttons in my memory - nothing personal re myself,
but of
stuff where I worked that I really don't care to recall...if you knew
what they were
you would understand....but I will not relate, this is a cat newsgroup
and kids may
be reading this for all I am aware. No elaboration....but I have to
use willpower as
there is no Plonk on my server. Thankfully this is not the only ng
provided and when
something gets too much I juat go to one of my other faves...the ones
where I am
NOT hopitus, ever, and the subjects interest me and educate me much as
Joyce
and Wayne do this thread. That's why days go by w/o any posts from
hopitus in
rpca or rpch&b....."she;s not there', lol. As Jo just said, "so
what?".Nothing forces
any of us to stay in this ng......
