We have almost 300 members in this group now. It's less of a chat room than an auditorium. So please let's: 1) try not to be insulting 2) stay roughly on topic I don't for a second want to discourage people from posting introductions/problems/questions/answers/progress reports. These are always welcome. But keep in mind that there is a cost, in terms of many people's attention, for every post. It may not be much, and it may be worth it, but it exists, and it adds up. I think if we keep this in mind it will continue to be possible to keep current with the group without making it a full time job, even as we add many new members. If you want more action than this bigger, slower group can provide, check out the nosdiet chat group: Besides the real time chat, posts are unmoderated so they go through more quickly. Just a friendly reminder for the new year, not thinking of anyone in particular. I'm hoping to have a replacement system that can accommodate a wider range of posting appetites some time in 2005 (and not show all those darn full page atkins ads). best, Reinhard |
