I agree and so voted. Hope Bill can resist any intimidation
or threat and just get the bozo off the list. Wow 15 years
or more. Generally been a good group with some helpful ideas
and tips! Gary

All
I agree primarily with the idea of elimination of behavior
through extinction. However, as the person-of-interest
already pointed out, it doesn't work if a behavior is
self-reinforcing. It clearly is- and for what appear to me to
be mean-spirited reasons. The comment came from this
individual recently was something to the effect that "good
luck finding people who agree with you". Add my name. A list
is a community- participation in which requires a certain
degree of self-control and empathy. Self-proclaimed
superiority hardly matches the claims of community and
egalitarian principles necessary in an open forum. Bill, I
appreciate your patience and I respect your efforts running
the list- it is, almost without exception, my favorite list *
because of * the lack of rules and structure- but I do think
it is possible to go too far.

I know that I am quiet on the list, but I have been here a
long time and am not leaving. There is too much of value here
to let one person drive me away. As others have pointed out,
that monitored list is not a replacement for the knowledge or
sense of community on TIPS.
I have used filters for the list for much of the time that I
have been here so I do not see the "exuberant" posts that
begin these discussions. Those messages go straight into my
delete folder. My guess is that Bill Gates and his minions
invented the delete folder for exactly this purpose.
Thanks to Bill Southerly for maintaining the list. It must
seem something of a thankless job at times like this.

I, too, have been on this list for 15 years, and I'm not
going anywhere. This community has been too valuable to me.
For those of you who lean toward public protests, I've set up
a poll on the TIPS subscribers page (
http://flightline.highline.edu/sfrantz/tips/index.htm ) where
you are welcome to vote on whether M.S. should be retained or
removed from TIPS. I'm not saying that the voting will have
any impact one way or another, but raw numbers are easier to
see, for everybody here, than speculation.
For those who are more likely to protest in a less public
manner, here again are the instructions for setting up
filters in Outlook. If you use a different email system and
would like assistance, you are welcome to email me off-list.
Best,
Sue

Hi all,
There's no need to leave the list because of one person.
If you have Outlook, here's how you can use filters to delete
messages before you even see them.
1. In the top menu, select "Tools" then "Rules and Alerts."
Select "New Rule." In the "Start from a blank rule" section,
choose "Check messages when they arrive." Click "Next."
2. Check the option, "From people or distribution list."
Notice that this has been added to the box at the bottom of
the screen. In that box, click on "people or distribution
list." In the "From" box, type in the email address of the
person you'd like to delete.
3. Click "OK" then "Next." Now check "Delete it."
4. Click "Next," then add an exception if you'd like. Then
"Next" again. Click "Finish" and you're done.
If you'd like to delete replies to that person's messages,
create a new rule like you did in step 1. In step 2, select
"with specific words in the body." In the box at the bottom
of the screen, click "specific words" and type in the
person's email address or name, depending on how much you
want to filter. As long as people respond with the poster's
header included in the email, the email address will filter
that message out. If responders delete the header, then only
the person's name will delete those messages. In any case,
you'll have less to delete manually.
As a side note, I use a filter to move TIPS and other
listserv messages out of my inbox and into their own folders.
I also have email messages sent just to me show up in a color
other than black. That makes it easier to sort the wheat from
the chaff.
My best,
Sue
