.....then a thread that not everyone enjoys, I think it is even worse all
the posts that bitch about it. Tons of people from all age groups and
gender have taken part in a discussion that is actually interesting to
some of us. It does contain Zep content. It doesn't interest you? Then
shut the hell up and hit the damn delete button. I see threads that don't
interest me all the time. and if I don't want to read it I DON'T. It is
not that difficult. Can I name you any examples? No, because it was
nothing I was interested in! Did I waste bandwidth on the list complaining
about it? NO! Am I wasting bandwidth now to complain about people who
complain about posts? YES! Does that make me a hypocrite? Most likely. My
whole point is the fact that by posting you don't like a thread, you are
only encouraging more people to get into it, just as you are if you
actually contribute to the thread. It's the whole bad publicity is good
publicity thing. People that hate Howard Stern still tune him in to hear
what he is going to do next and they give him ratings. Same sorta thing
here folks.
Basically if you don't like it, privately email the poeple if you want to
btich about it, but really, the post on the list is wasting space. And I
know I should look at myself, so I'll shut up and get off my high horse.
