This is where appropriate subject lines help a great deal. If one is not interested in the topic, they can look at the subject line and decide to delete.
That is what I am doing with the tablet topic. Karyn Campbell, Illinois USA, [email protected] Using WE 8.4 on Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 home premium 32-bit with Office 2007 and IE 10 as well as Acer netbook running Windows 7 home premium 64-bit with Office 2007 and IE 10 and Microsoft Security Essentials on both machines. -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 12:21 PM To: Rod Hutton; Duyahn Walker; [email protected] Subject: Using the delete key was Re: Window-eyes on a Microsoft Tablet While Duyahn's request was polite, it is really out of line, at lest as far as the main discussion goes. The main topic was and is on topic for the list, being a discussion relevant to Window Eyes. It may become tiring for people not interested in such a popular topic to continue deleting posts day after day, but people need to remember that 'I'm not interested in this topic', 'my interest in this topic has ended', and other such personal feelings and opinions do not equal off topic. Sorry, but the definition of off topic is pretty specific and frankly, it is out of line for even a moderator to shut down an on topic discussion. I can't count the number of threads I am sick of that I continue to delete day after day from various lists, but that is the nature of lists. This isn't meant as an admonishment or anything, when a widely popular topic that one isn't interested in continues for a long time it can be easy to get sick of it and lose track of whether or not the discussion is on topic. The popularity of this discussion is an indication of the membership's interest in Windows tablets and touch support. This means that the topic, even when this discussion peters out, is not going anywhere and members who are not interested should brace themselves for it to come back from time to time. On the wandering of the discussion, we all offend in this area I think, I know I often forget, but if possible one should always try to remember when shifting to a side discussion to alter the subject line to reflect both the new topic and the fact that it branched from another topic. This allows folks to decide if they are interested in reading the new topic or if they want to skip the tangent.

I know it takes time, but if you don't want to be fooled by the subject lines, you have to read every message. smile hth, Rod On 1/10/14 1:14 AM, Duyahn Walker wrote: > Can we please put this subject to rest?
