feste, you're one of the people I was thinking of and missing. Hope you're well and happy. I'm loving the cooler weather today.

It's a disaster. I can no longer follow discussions or even see who the author of a particular post is. Yahoo could not have done better if they had deliberately gone out to sabotage the group. Every single change made is for the worse. It's a pity because I have enjoyed this group since it started in 2001. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Yesterday I was thinking about and missing all the people who have drifted away, especially since Neo. Also, I hope the abundance of my posting hasn't driven anyone away. I am aiming for 10 or less per day and for at least some humor with all the conflicts. Good plan. And perhaps aim at forming one complete thought before posting. ________________________________ From: "dhamiltony2k5@..." <dhamiltony2k5@...> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 27, 2013 11:17 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] RE: RE: Post Count Sat 28-Sep-13 00:15:03 UTC Why should Rick Archer host this site any longer for mostly fractious, abusive and unpleasant postings by a few people flooding the content with their personal animosities. Popular Science magazine just shut down online comments to stories on its website. Disabling comments, The magazine says rude or insulting comments have been shown to skew readers’ understanding of articles and drives away readership. Interviewing with Fairfieldlife at yahoo-goups [FFL] members out on the sidewalks and in the coffee houses and cafes of Fairfield, Iowa who no longer read FFL, they say the culture of animosity and incivility of Rick Archer's list drives them away from reading it. A few people who have taken over FFL have driven away the community of what once was. It is a common complaint of the old readership. -Buck ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Can I be the first to congratulate authfriend and Share for breaking through the 100 barrier. They put the rest of us slackers to shame with our miserly inputs. The 852 messages total works out to about five messages an hour during the week. Five messages doesn't sound too onerous to deal with. And bear in mind that a lot of the messages are simple thumbs up or thumbs down feedback, such as . . . "Outstanding post!" "Ha-ha!" "Thanks for that link" OR "Did you forget to take your medics today?" "You sir are a complete prat" "YAWN . . . " . . . we are in their debt. Let us try harder in weeks to come. ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <ffl.postcount@...> wrote: Fairfield Life Post Counter =========================== Start Date (UTC): 09/21/13 00:00:00 End Date (UTC): 09/28/13 00:00:00 852 messages as of (UTC) 09/27/13 23:08:02 126 authfriend 113 Share Long 74 Richard J.
