Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I just want to make a couple of friendly reminders as we enter this new year. As the list owner, I don't want to be a tyrant or censor what is posted here, but there have been a few cases lately that have been brought to my attention. Most notably are long off-topic conversations and overly religious posts. I don't mind off topic posts at all. I want this to be a close knit group where we can all feel free to share what's happening in our lives. However, when we get sidetracked by one completely off topic thread for more than a few posts, posts that need immediate attention could get lost in the mix - especially if someone puts their question in a reply without changing the subject line. As for the overly religious posts, we need to keep in mind that while a majority may practice Christianity, there are many members who do not. It's one thing to say things are " in God's hands " or something similar, but something entirely different to post something that might be heard during a sermon. I want people to feel comfortable coming to this list for support regardless of their spiritual or religious background. Again, I am not trying to step on anyone's toes or make anyone feel bad. When people feel uncomfortable enough to email me privately about these things, I do need to take them seriously. This is a large, high traffic group that attracts people from many walks of life. I am vrey proud to be part of something that has helped so many people. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
