Me too.

Didn't someone post here that they accidentally said "LOL" out loud once
and was rather embarrassed?

That made me go "Ha!"

But if nobody says lol, how is the poster going
to know that someone found it funny?

Look, for God's sake, punk started in the UK.
I've been on the Gathering since 1998, and in all that time, punk has
always started in the UK.

End this argument now, because it is stupid
time-wasting posts like this one I'm writing that get in the way of
other people who have much better posts to write, particularly those
people who write in saying things like "LOL" and nothing else whatsoever
in the very same post.

How can we know...



I've been here since the 20th century
('98 or so..cassettes, glowsticks, Dee-Lite,

raves, etc.) when Gatherers and
gathering were over at UBL so I know for a fact these

kinds of shenanigans and inanity have
always (& in all ways) existed here, both read

and written by everyone here,** and
rarely ( as in, rarely) did anyone really object, even

when it got bad (racism, personal
attacks, pro-Bush opinions, etc.)...



...and, it's hard (next to
impossible,really) to tell when some thread will go off and really

stray - until way after it's done so,
so:

where can we draw The Line? that is,
without intimidating creative and free speech. Hm..

..how can we (individually) predict the
future quality and future trajectory of a given thread?

Hm... I don't know.



(and no i haven't forgotten that the
number of Jokers here has at least tripled since KJ-2003,

and that more and more people are
accessing their internetss on the go thru laptops,

cellphones, computers at work,
Blackberrys, etc.)



Something I find does work for me is
that if i can trust the message titles to be in tune

with the message, if people properly
title their messages and change or add to that title as

the subject/s of the messages change,
then we can all feel confident in deleting [on sight]

a thread of no interest.

For example, I personally don't care
about the "btats remasters" so i delete entire threads

of it [no offense to those who do care
for btats remasters], and when a title reflects a change

in subject, that also helps me decide to
read or delete.



Also, and this is a long long shot,
maybe if the board can be reformatted to show individual postings in
sequential order, would that help? Because recently i've been getting
lots of messages hours or even days after someone's posted it, or
messages are posted twice (no not just Mel's).



Anyway, my two cents' worth.



** how many frekqin' times do we

have to hear who started punk where?

I rest my case.

I have to chime in. Quick back n' forth
nonsensical stuff like 95% of
what's shown up here the past few days
here really belong in someplace like
IRC or some chat room. I'm all for
off-topic posts but after 50+
one-sentence messages in a couple hour's
time, it just becomes wasted
bandwidth. I get all my mail mirrored on
my Blackberry and it's a fucking
pain in the ass to have to individually
delete hundreds of useless posts
that accumulate in just a day's time.
And I'm sure I'm not the only
subscriber that storing, deleting and
sifting through junk e-mail is more
than a simple matter of "skip what you
don't want to read."

Think of it as a simple courtesy to your
fellow list members.

And the angels eat their grapes
