A little while ago Diane posted about "snipping" the
parts of posts you are responding to to make the daily
digests more readable. I've got another piece of group
etiquette advice I'd like to add: please don't post 5
posts in an hour, etc. It's a little overwhelming.
People feel smothered. I don't want to stifle anyone's
enthusiasm, a lot of these machine gunned posts are
wonderful and the group would be poorer without them,
but if those who are tempted to do so could just
reorganize them a little so it's maybe one big post
instead of 8 little ones, people could deal with it
better. Let's be snipping snipers, not machine
gunners.

If you absolutely must machine gun, the now little
used nosdiet_chat yahoo group is a better forum.
There's no moderation, so your posts will go through
faster, members are there because they want lots of
action, and you can real time chat via applet as well.



Many smiley faces and no offense,

Reinhard
