RE: Observations on Recent Activity on This Listserve

[Cordell . Arthur]

As a co-host of the list I second this and would add that some posts should really be off-line, from one to another, as they really only deal with the fine points of one or another's posts.   We have been in this situation before, where closely held views move toward closely held beliefs and values and things take a bit of a religious bent.    arthur cordell   -----Original Message----- From: George Cheney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 8:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Observations on Recent Activity on This Listserve Dear Futurework Folks~   I have *very much* enjoyed being on this list. Many of the posts have been interesting and timely. In fact, I've learned a great deal about what's going on and being considered in the world of work, while also being able to use many of the posts in my "Communication and Quality of Worklife" course.   However, in the last couple of months, the sheer volume of e-mail has become overwhelming.  More importantly, many of the posts are now reduced to brief comments that are parts of exchanges involving a handful of people.  I think we can fairly infer that these are the reasons for the number of recent REMOVAL messages by subscribers.   May I gently suggest that some of the more frequent users be a bit more judicious in trying not to post their every little thought or comment, instead accumulating comments for longer, more considered posts?   Thanks,   George Cheney Professor of Communication Studies The University of Montana Missoula, Montana 59812 USA   P.S.:  Please keep me on the list!
