(meteorobs) My posting a private comment-Apology and discussion
is has to be my #1 pet peeve - One liners. Especially when the person posts
5 or 6 of them. Glad that doesn't happen here ;)
Is what I posted from someone else.
I then mentioned a few people by name. Please accept my apologies if anyone
was offended. However, the subject does need to be addressed, so let me say
this: I am now getting over 50 messages a day, and at least 40% have
nothing to do with meteors. I will soon be forced to switch to the digest
version, since my employer isn't too happy about this many messages. Don't
get me wrong, I'm just as guilty of being off topic sometimes. However, one
line responses to questions that are not included take up a lot of message
space, so please do be considerate, and combine several at once if
possible.
Any and all meteor related questions, topics, and discussions are ALWAYS
welcome. That after all IS why we are hear...to discuss and learn. But we
must be careful when we stray off topic too far, and we must be considerate
when filling up peoples mailboxes with 10 one line messages. Many providers
have a limit as to the number of mail messages that can be stored, or
amount of space. I know mine does, and if it goes over, then everything
bounces, which can lead to disasters like the famous
"AAAAAUUUURRRRGGGGHHHHH Wayne's e-mail is screwing up the maillist boingy,
boingy, boingy"(To quote the Warner brothers and their sister Dot)incident,
which will live in the annuls of meteorobs history forever.
So again, I apologize to everyone for my misspost, but it did bring up
an important topic. Please read the list administrators GENERAL RULES
section for using this list, which were posted today.
Thanx for listening,
Wayne
