Off Topic Discussions - suggestions

[Guest guest]

This should not have to be said. Several things to keep in mind.

1. it is not so easy to just delete sine many have to get the digest to

keep the emails manageable

2. this takes time away from our children (while many of feel it is

necessary we don't want to lose more time than necessary.

3. most do not get upset if the topic remotely relates to autism as a whole.

4. there are over a thousand members in this group. Perhaps the ones

interested in things like guns or overall children issue should start a

second group such autism-off topic then they can chat about other things to

their hearts content without anyone getting upset

(MOST of us are here for just ONE THING)

5. EVERYONE can keep the emails down if they take a minute to use the search

function at egroups to review previous discussions. I have found this to be

quite useful when I remember to do.
