Good question! I know the main reason I don't post as often is because I don't receive my own messages via MOU listserve when I send an email message to it. I am an MOU member. I receive all MOU listserve posts UNLESS they are initiated by me. I've asked about this before but it's never been 'fixed'. I have heard of others that have the same issue.
In other words, I am less likely to post because I am not sure my posts are going through--because I don't see them. I only know a post went through when and if I get feedback from others. Like a friend saying, "Hey, there were 5 misspellings in your MOU posting about the 'oroile.'" I enjoy and benefit from the listserve and that’s why I keep posting, even though I fear sometimes I have been black(phoebe)listed. If I see this posting in MOU--I will let you know, Alex Cruz Ramsey Co, MN On 4/2/12, Al Schirmacher <alschirmac...@live.com> wrote: > I subscribe both to MOU & Wisbirdn (former birding home, prior to 2004). > > I wonder why there are substantially less posts on MOU? > > Don't hear me wrongly, this is not a criticism, more is not necessarily > better. > > At one point I was informed that friendliness & criticism was an issue - but > over the years, having engaged with many members, and having served on the > board, find this is perception more than reality. > > Is it scope of topic?
