please put TOPIC on topic line , not teaser words! - 09/07/06 03:27 PM

pretty please be thoughtful and put topic up front , not just a nebulous phrase, so people can click on those they are interested in. Yes, we can just ignore and skip those that don't-- on general principles, butt we may be missing some good stuff you bring up in there. We shouldn't have to spend all that time sifting through. thanks.

While I'm criticizing I also want to apologize for the crazy-quilt layout of all my posts and replies. i have no control
over it--I have to use my server for email while I'm away
from Miami and they ignore how I organize them and
their sends are always in nutty format.

hey Vilo..you're the one that's sensitive..not me.
I'm just making a reasonable suggestion for time-saving.
Mystery posts? you're pulling my leg, no?
nothing wrong with some playfulness or humor..I've indulged in those here, but they are secondary to
coming to Sz to learn and hopefully, to contribute. so
what's wrong with suggesting better posting procedures?

hey Rattley..I slapped your hand? how so? are you one of those who use non-sequiter topic lines? I said pretty please, didn't I? Many of us like to look down the topic list and pick out those they have interest in, and ignore those they don't. If you put up nebulous openers, we can ignore it, but maybe it will be of interest. I'd like not to have to go into every topic to find out..just give an idea of what the topic is, why is that "too many rules" (sigh)

hey Jerryghr...is that like grrr...you're angry?
you came here to picnic, but someone is a serious
musician with a serious interest in not wasting time,
so you feel free to indulge in insults?

So far 3 replies to my post and all belligerent..interesting.

Ok everyone - take deep breaths and exhale slowly.

Miami Mo - I understand where you're coming from. I didn't feel your request is out of line.
Perhaps some have interpreted as more of an "order" or "demand". You were just suggesting, yes?

peace...

"Mr. San(d)man, Send Me a Dream.."
you're probably too young to remember that 50's
hit by the Chordettes..anyway, thanks Sanman for the
support, but you are wrong, I was not suggesting,
I was demanding and ordering, because... I am Napoleon!!!!
( I you think I'm kidding it's the firing squad for you, kid)

Miami Mo,

I Love Mister Sandman and no, my handle is SANMAN - a nickname from my colleagues at work. Storage Area Network man!

I'm 55 years young so, I probably don't know who the Chordettes are, right?

Miami Mo: I agree completely.

For those who find rules restrictive I can only add that there is so much stuff on the web, anything we can do to make it easier to navigate is a plus. IMHO.

Mr. Sanman:
the Chordettes were a girl vocal quartet that were regulars on the old Arthur Godfrey radio and Tv shows. He liked featuring his regular stable of mediocrities, including Jeannette Davis, Haleloke, and Julius LaRosa. In that sense he presaged Welk. When squarepants Julius started to emulate the hip Sinatra style, Godfrey fired him from the show. You can thank me for this info by sending me a dream. Sanman...

Robert, welcome to the picnic fellow ant. Let's eat....

Seems to me that if you have enough time to whine about it in the form of five rather lengthy follow-up posts, you've got enough time to sift through them. Butt.......

This forum has a child-like atmosphere that I find both endearing and amusing.

Hey guys,
as I recall this post was about a request for more
descriptive topic lines. Please reread my top post here
and tell me why the post has become about me?

Seems to me it was a straightforward businesslike explanation, framed with a please and a thank you (ok the
'pretty please' was a bit facetious-- but so what?) the topic line was a bit hard-edged because it was intended
as a wake-up call, to improve what I see as a roadblock.

How about just agreeing or disagreeing with the
opinion? and saying why you agree or disagree, instead of all the belligerent and/or passive-aggressive use of
"humor" that you have to say "just kidding" about later?

hey, this is my last reply on this topic, seeya on another
sometime..outtahere..

ps..Cgiles, nasty stuff there fella..proud of yourself?

I feel compelled to reply that i feel that Miami Mo brought this all on himself with his attitude and replies. Sometimes you just have to let a thread play itself out before you start replying to the posts.

The original idea was OK; the comment about too many rules comes from all of the recent blocking and editing - in case you didn't know. To be defensive and not understand where a fellow Z'er is coming from make for difficult exchanges. Chill !!!
