As a new subscriber (only two months) I may be out of place in this
correspondence. I will probably be spamed for this commentary. But one
reason this newsgroup tends to be boring is because some of which is here
should be addressed not to the group, but to the individuals to whom it
applies. Does everyone who races vintage cars really care about "the slow
ass red car" ( two or three people who diced together at one race?") The
thread will probably go on for a month or two.
Conversations like this should take place in private Email. That is why we
can CC (carbon copy )other interested parties. My email allows me to respond
to the individual who made the correspondence without sending my presonal
comment to the entire group. To the extent that this newsgroup becomes a
means of private correspondence it will have less appeal for those who are not
privy (or do not care) about the personal matters effecting only a few.
Those who question why the same old names keep appearing on this newsletter
now have an answer. It is because much of what appears only effects those
"same old names".
The threads that have common interest are a value to many of us. And it helps
if the Subject Column clearly describes the subject matter. But it is a waste
of time to access every piece of correspondence to find much of them are
nothing more that personal correspondence between two or three people. Maybe
This type of correspondence should be sent by email, to the person to who it
is addressed.
I hope I dont offend anyone. But if so, Im sure Ill hear about it. Does
anyone agree?
