[Audyssey] Please don't force BGT topics from this list was Re: PLEASE STOP
hello everyone, I, for one, would not like to see the topics about the new BGT tool and how to use it forced off of this list. I am not a programmer, nor will I ever be a computer programmer. But, I am a game player and am very interested in this tool which may allow those of us who have no interest in becoming computer programmers the ability to create games. I know that statement in and of itself will enrage some people on this list, the statement about my having no interest in actual computer programming, I mean.. I see nothing wrong with discussions about this topic being kept on the list. I do not want to have to join a computer programming list, where ninety-nine percent of the topics will be way over my head, nor do I want to have to join and remember to visit some web forum to learn more about his tool exclusively. . If you don't want to read about it, then for Heaven Sake, just don't open the emails and read them. Hit the Delete key on any with BGT in the subject line. That won't eliminate all of the BGT mail, but it will get a good many of them. I'm sure all of us on this list routinely run across many messages which hold no interest for us, but we deal with it. Please, list mods, don't let the complaints of a very few control this list. It is an emailing list, after all, and a spike in traffic once in a while is to be expected, especially accompanying the release of a wonderful new game tool. Once the tool has been around for a while, the email traffic will slow down yet again. ~Ann T On 3/25/2010 5:37 PM, Anne Walker wrote: Okay, ya'll. This is getting rather ridiculous.

Hi ann, Amen to that! There is no actual reason this should be removed from the list. Those of you who arecomplaining could just as well chosen to complain about posting topics related to MOTA or Q9, it just so happens it is BGT. I for one agree, and I do not want to have to go to a forum in order to look at info about the BGT. I for one have ran across topics that held no interest for me, it's simple...press delete.

Re: [Audyssey] Please don't force BGT topics from this list was Re: PLEASE STOP
I would like to agree with this. I think BGT is highly relevant to this list. Please allow discussions to continue; for those not interested, the delete key works well. I suspect we've all had to delete messages we weren't interested in. That's the beauty of a list; many topics and ideas can be discussed, and you participate in those that are of interest to you. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Hayden Presley Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 4:24 PM To: tate...@gmail.com; 'Gamers Discussion list' Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Please don't force BGT topics from this list was Re: PLEASE STOP Hi ann, Amen to that!

Re: [Audyssey] Please don't force BGT topics from this list was Re: PLEASE STOP
so am I. I am interested in this tool in particular all the new ideas. I really don't have many nore care to learn how to program, but I enjoy hearing them and maybe hearing about playing them getting files audio etc. However all the single question messages need to go. Muhammed seems to send a lot of messages no offence but I have noticed this.
