Judy, the signal to noise analogy does not apply because that involves necessarily perceiving both, whereas no one necessarily has to read my posts, especially if they perceive them as noise. Secondly, salyavin seems to have left the group for TWO major reasons.

I guess you haven't been reading the traffic, then. A lot of people haven't been able to negotiate Neo smoothly. Salyavin just left because he couldn't deal with it. Other people haven't been posting at all. Your noise degrades the signal for those who need it. Please find something to talk about other than the software. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Judy, given that many FFL posters know a lot about tech matters, I highly doubt that they experience any confusion, gross or otherwise if they read my posts on such matters. ________________________________ From: "authfriend@..." <authfriend@...> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 2, 2013 2:11 PM Subject: RE: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: 20 Big Questions. As you know, Share, I was asking you questions about what the hell you were saying, because it didn't make any sense. You really aren't capable of making a "straightforward comment" about software. You just babble about this and that because you want to have something to say; you don't know what's significant and what's trivia, and a great deal of what you say is just plain wrong. And no, nobody with any brains is looking to you for guidance regarding software. That doesn't mean you don't introduce gross confusion into the discussions that interferes with folks' ability to get answers to their questions from others. As far as software is concerned, your contributions are noise, not signal. >--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > >Judy, I made a straightforward comment to iranitea and then I answered a bunch >of questions from you.
