Six years ago, I was a new person to the list and despite all the off topic posts I found out so much about TM, I found a new family and many many friends and I had a damn good laugh which helped so much.
LONG LIVE OFF TOPIC POSTS!!!! (especially from Phran3que) Gilly ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Pall To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Sally Wilkinson ; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 12:28 AM Subject: RE: [TMIC] truth in labeling I cannot believe how much discussion this topic has yielded. This is not that difficult....simply do not discuss non TM matters with the group. I have no problem with a member discussing spiritualiy as a form of coping with our condition...simply leave out religion, politics, jokes etc. from the site. These are topics you can share with specific members...but not to the entire list. We should always consider how a new member looking for information will respond to non TM issues. We have had numerous cases of members unsubscribing due to these emails.The so called dirty topics are certainly not "dirty"...but simply problems related to the condition and do not need to be labeled "mature". All we must do is stay on topic and use common sense.

We need to develop code which will be put in the subject line: We use OT for off topic. We need to come up with an abbreviation for blessings, and other religious stuff. How about PTL (praise the lord)? GBY (God Bless You)?? And Mature (Adult) matters such as lack of sex, too much sex, trouble recharging batteries, erectile dysfunction- which has it's own (ED)- orgasmic dysfunction, allodynia making physical intimacy impossible...I could go on and on. Let us pick MM (Mature Matures). Then we have "Dirty" topics dealing with urine, bladders, feces, colon and we should add bed sores- I hate reading about bed sores!!. How about a simple DT (Dirty Topic) I can't think of any more, so please help me Your humble savant, pHranq3ue
