FLASH: One-Word-Posts

[John Cocktosten]

I know that I have only been on this list for a short period of time and I 

hope that I am not way out of line with what I am about to say but....


Why do people feel compelled to write one word messages to the list? Micah 

Cordes has been doing this about ten times a day since I joined. I don't 

want to single anybody out, but this person has not said one valuable thing 

in the 25 messages he/she has posted. Isn't there someone to monitor this 

and filter out these garbage posts?


There is a lot of valuable info on this list, but it is mixed in between the 

"Nice!" or "I second that" or Me Too!" messages that do not help anyone 

learn Flash.


People, before you send a message to the list, remind yourself that it is 

going to over one thousand peoples' Inbox. Before you hit the Send button, 

ask yourself if the message is really necessary. If you want to thank 

someone, email them off list, it is the courteous thing to do.


Hope I didn't step on any toes, if I did feel free to mail me OFF-LIST to 

discuss it.


Happy Holidays Everyone!


John Cocktosten
