Most of you don't, or won't, take time to format your messages for easy reading and reply. Most of you don't even know how to snip to avoid taking up unnecessary band space. Some people just feel better when they have someone to talk to I guess. LoL! You got your 'top posters' and you got your 'bottom posters'. The top posters post their one-liners on top - and I wonder how much of the message they've actually read. Then, you got your bottom poster who post at the bottom - we assume they've read down to the bottom, but maybe not. It's easier to read the top posters tweets because they appear at the top, but sometimes you don't know what exactly they are replying to. Sometimes it's just like a short rant-reply, or totally off the topic thread. You have to scroll down to see the bottom poster's tweets and when you get there it's often just a simple one-liner. Barry used to format his postings, but lately it's just a mass of word wrap - lazy I guess. Now Bob is using red characters. Robin used to post huge paragraph blocks to read - apparently he didn't understand the Enter key on his computer, or the Preview button on Yahoo. Go figure. Judy is still the master formater. Her posts are easy to read and on topic. I almost always know what line she is referring to; she almost always avoids using word wrap, and she knows all about snipping. So, I wonder why she hasn't got the free Thunderbird yet - she hardly ever uses rich text anyway. Go figure. P.S. You can use almost any email program to seed a message to Yahoo! FFL. I mean, if you can't keep up with a simple threaded conversation, you might as well just post a new topic every few minutes, like Buck used to do. That way, you can spout off and everyone will read your one-liner in message view - they won't even have to click on it to read it. Send your message to: [email protected]
