POST 'CLUTTER' AND A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS NEW COMMUNITY

<<<I don't normally care about extraneous posts, but we seem to be a bit heavy today on posts about Tiger and Norway>>>

Lindy,

I am an enthusiastic newcomer to your thread; for me, it is an invaluable resource for one who has spent nearly 50 years fighting the ideological and political wars.

But this morning, I was stunned to see I needed to read 360 posts just to catch up. And for me, it was annoying to read through dozens of one line posts on "People" Magazine subjects. And many of these were back-and-forth colloquies that could only interest the posters involved. EGO POSTS, I would call them.

I LIKE THIS BOARD VERY MUCH; I BELIEVE IT FILLS A PERCEIVED NEED THAT THE PUBLIC MEDIA LEAVES UNSATISFIED.

But the members of this COMMUNITY - who are benefitted so much - need to show a sense of responsibility for the NEEDS of that community.

I would humbly encourage the readers of this Board to think twice before they type out their one-liners; that they consider private posts to posters they admire and to avoid "clutter" that adds nothing to the understanding of this community as a whole.

Bruce
