Guest guest Posted February 9, 2001 Report Share Posted February 9, 2001 Cheryl ... I`m getting you loud and clear. I have trouble with Harper`s for some reason. It is only when she includes the message to which she is replying. Everybody else`s are fine. Jerry Hey all, Let me know if you got this message. Maybe it's how I'm sending it. I sent this one as a new message. Cheryl ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2001 Report Share Posted February 10, 2001 Leona, are you checked for cataracts as well as glaucoma? To what does your doctor attribute your tiredness? I, too, tire very easily. I'm down to 7.5 mg Prednisone, 100 mg Imuran. My doctor says the prednisone is about equivalent to what my body would produce normally. He seems surprised and uneasy that I'm so very tired but, according to my husband, who listened more carefully than I, he says I've been very sick for a year and will just take time to recover. I'm doing well, but the tiredness does discourage me. I believe my mental functions are recovering lately; they seem to be a problem mostly when I'm tired. He suggests that my fatigue might be due to depression and suggests that I consider an antidepressant, but I just don't think that I am depressed -- sometimes I'm angry or sad about specific things, as anyone would be, but I THINK I'm unusually happy most of the time. I'm throwing out these bits of information about me in case some of it might be useful to you. I was diagnosed AIH 5/00 (I'm 57, female) and find that I'm doing very well recently, although my gp said she thought I was "a goner, done for" in May! Now that I know things are going well, I'm going to try walking for as long as possible every day to see if that gives me more energy. I gained 40 pounds in six weeks, and surely that weight must be contributing to fatigue -- that's like carrying a fully loaded camping backpack everywhere I go. Weight Watchers, maybe? It goes against my nature to sign up for such a program, but I want to do all I can to get strong again, to take advantage of my good fortune in recovery.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 O. K. I'll start trying to remember to delete the message I'm replying to, but let me just say that I don't understand what the problem is. It actually helps me to have the original post tacked on so that I can know what's being discussed. If, for instance, I had left the original post on this message one could easily just read what I've typed here and then just don't scroll to see the leftover message. Am I missing something? Did I not understand the post about messages? If anyone on this forum didn't see the post about messages won't they have to take more time to try to figure out how to find the post about messages? Not all of us are very computer literate. Should we be left out of the support group because we're not computer gurus? I don't go online to go to other groups, therefore I don't know anything about online group etiquette. Nor do I have the time, patience, energy, or will to figure out what all the rules are. I've seen several posts as of late where people are complaining about the way people post their messages. I would think that for people who are sick, and would have the understanding of what goes on when one is sick with an autoimmune disease that we would just let some things slide. I try very hard to be positive and uplifting to everyone, and I have ignored several posts on this subject, but I am getting really frustrated and yes, irritable, over people complaining about the forum. It's full of lots of wonderful information and support and very nice folks. ly, I don't even understand how a person has trouble scrolling through an email when they can manage to sit in a chair, turn on a computer, and type. Think about it, is this petty, or what? Why ruin a good thing by complaining all the time. Can't we all just be a little more tolerant? Perhaps I'm not being very tolerant! I don't mean to sound mean, but I have really been enjoying this forum and the complaints are getting tedious. You can't please everyone.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 I don't even read the complaints anymore. As soon as I realize it is one, I delete it immediately!

Don't we all have to much else to worry about (like our health) than how people reply to posts? Come one everyone, just read what you want and hit delete on all other things. The moaning and groaning is getting a bit old. Put that energy to better use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 I myself just copy the pertinent part of the message I am replying to, so there is a reference point to look at in regard to my reply. That way my answer is tied to the original message. Carol in Vancouver, Washington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 I can see both sides of this thing. I agree that it helps to set the context of a reply by including the significant part of a previous post that parlays into the reply where you want to elaborate on or mention a related thought. The legitimate complaint is with copying a whole message or at times even a whole string of messages into one reply. Beyond that should one place their reply comments before the excerpt of a previous post or after? I think before. Then if the reader cant understand the context Then they can scroll down to get an excerpt of the post that was replied to. n a message dated 2/27/03 1:23:45 PM Central Standard Time, troycheryl@... writes: > It > actually helps me to have the original post tacked on so that I can know > what's being discussed [Ed. Note: I agree Orin. I usually put my reply before the post to which I'm replying, but on most bulletin boards the reply is placed afterwards or even interspersed within the original message if more than one point is being addressed. As long as people stick solely to this forum they can do pretty much whatever they want, but on most other forums (especially USENET forums) people who include multiple previous messages in their entirety would be booted out.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Ron, Thanks for your thoughtful response. When I stated that I don't understand what the problem is, I really meant that literally. I couldn't understand why, if for instance, I left your whole message at the bottom of this post, that would bother someone. It seems like they would just read what I've written here and then move on to the next post. It's o.k., though, don't try to explain it to me. I stated that I would try to remember to delete the message I'm replying to, because I do want to be courteous of others. I don't know how to just pull out parts of a message and respond to those parts, and make a distinction in who the author is. That is unless I retype the whole thing along with who said what. As I said, I had seen several complaints as of late, it wasn't just that particular one to which I was responding. So, my apologies to whomever started the whole " messages " postings, I was not trying to single out that one complaint. I just felt myself becoming increasingly uncomfortable responding to posts because I thought I might be the next one to get chastised for improper " netiquette " . You're right about Gordon. Perhaps he has learned more patience and wisdom over the years, and I know he doesn't suffer from p.m.s! Ha! Cheryl [Ed. Note: Heavens forbid Cheryl, you needn't ever worry about being chastised for improper " Netiquette " on this forum - at least not if I am the moderator who runs across such a message in the pending queue, because I would reject it with a note to the author to be more polite. I do think it is perfectly proper to make general suggestions to the group as a whole however. If everyone posted their messages above the message being replied to, it wouldn't be much of a problem except for those with a slow modem connection to the Internet who would have to wait while all the extra stuff downloaded. Some people like to post their messages at the bottom of the message being replied to however, and that is perfectly Ok. Also, I've seen replies with a couple of hundred lines of text consisting of a half-dozen prior messages that no one ever deleted. However, if it's a problem don't worry about it - no one will chastise you. Deleting text from the message being replied to is very easy however. I don't know which email program you use, but when you click the " Reply " button, most email programs will quote the message being replied to with the greater-than sign ( " > " ), and then put the cursor above the message. It's simply a matter of selecting the old text you want to delete with the mouse or cursor keys (hold down the left mouse key while moving the mouse around over the message), and then press the " Delete " key. If you or anyone else doesn't know how to do it or would like to learn, please feel free to contact me privately at PA@...

Where does that > come from I just like to type! ha ha No seriously, I dont know if this only works with AOL but you select the text you want to respond to by left clicking and dragging to highlight the selected text then click on reply and it will insert the selected text along with the info on the original author. If you want to respond to several posts in one and have original author info on each one you have to select the text in each one and reply to that to create its own window, then copy the entire text of the second reply over to the first one. Make sense? I dont even remember how I discovered that most likely accidently. Another good example of the value of turning all stones ha ha Orin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 As much as I regret that some cannot scroll very much; for others it's very helpful to see the original message. I realize that it's difficult to help everyone especially when we are all at different paid levels and certainly different technology levels. Again thanks for you help.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I can tell you that subject matter doesn't determine how quickly the messages are posted. This is a very high volume message board and there is always messages waiting to be approved even at midnight due to the time difference of West coast vs. East coast. Subject line does make a huge difference for those that are sifting through the subjects to read or not to read. But again subject matter doesn't determine how long the message sits to be approved. There are only so many moderators and sometimes there are around 15-20 messages sitting there every couple hours on a busy day.
