lol well said Gary, on my end anyway I get SOME traffic, I don't know when exactly it started to really dry out on my end anyway. Possibly 3-4 weeks ago was when I really noticed. I know on my my end to get any ones opinions or advice on or even just to say a friendly hello, it seems like I need to do so many times--That comes off as rude. I want to be wrong in that case and I want it to be a technical problem. It'd really suck if it's because people are leaving what used to be a pretty vibrant list. As a concrete example I've seen nick thompson need to ask a few times just for advice on firefox. Yesterday and today because I really want to pick up the pace on making friends, and finding stuff I'd enjoy doing and even getting a new set of resume and job helpers. I don't expect instant response lol but even a simple: Oh I'm sorry Gil I (or we)simply don't know! or friendly ribbing goes a long away to kind of assure people oh, it's not actually dead quite yet- lol but you might be right that it's turning into that infamous Norwegian blue lol
Preffering as I said in another email to be a open book or just open about questions, curiosities or what ever just ask. That leads to the awkward question then: If people are leaving and or it's a technical problem, Anyone know how do-able it is to give either the current list a fresh coat of paint or somehow smoothly transition into a general fun witty bantery type of list. As I have no clue how email lists get set up and going "just" may simply a petty heafty task ^_^ On Wed, Jul 11, 2018 at 9:44 AM, Gary Schiltz <[email protected]> wrote: > (Resisting the temptation of repeating the "dead parrot" skit from Monty > Python) > > I've gotten a lot of FRIAM postings from Nick, Frank, Marcus, and Glen > lately about philosophy regarding belief and doubt, so it doesn't appear to > be dead.
