Subject: Re: reviewing posts...


Yes, we are all busy and we all should take responsibility for things. But you know what? we have in asking for a moderator. We have because people take advantage of openness in communication and we sought to control the junk we got. I use spam filters on my regular email, so unfortunately Radhika has become our moderator because some folks have no courtesy. So if we busy people are tired of hitting delete buttons, we have a right to ask for Radhika's help without scoldings from the "free" to do what we want regardless of how it upsets others crown.

responsibility and delete them themselves instead of
complaining so much and making radhika go thru each

do than look at everything because eldorra is annoying
us with dating games between multiple personas.

yes the mudslinging is annoying to some, as was the
dating thing, and flame wars, etc, but i fail to see
the why people cannot take some responsibility for
themselves and hit a delete key instead of going to
the moderator and asking them to to clean it up
because the conversation isn't up to someone or some
group's standard of discourse.

maybe i'm out of line here and there is disagreement
on this but you know what, we're all busy and we're
all adults capable of accepting responsibility and
hitting 'delete.'
