[Bill:] Re: The List - U Lista

Unfortunately, you cut out my little bit on the ability to send and receive messages by email. All you’ve done is to expand on it, and very greatly. Same with my bit on the ability to promote glosalist to other Internet users through Yahoo! groups. But I don’t mind plagiarism if it does some good.

Plagiarism. Sheesh. Newbies. Sheesh. Top-posters. Sheesh!

But we do lose the ability to send email to all members of the list, i.e. to those who have chosen to not receive posts by email. For those, we depend on them going to the group web page and reading the messages, if they don’t lose interest or forget about it.

Ah, well, see, I did preface my comments with “Assuming that I haven’t misunderstood”. That was your cue to clarify, and to politely correct me if I was in the wrong. Apparently I did misunderstand; your argument is that we would lose the guarantee that all who are subscribed will receive the email messages. True. A bit of expansion would have been helpful there, eh? Your statement was poorly written and unclear.

Building upon your thought (gee, am I plagiarizing again?) this means that with Yahoo! they will be less likely to unsubscribe, since they have the option of disabling email and only checking in when they feel like it.

Hmm. Besides the frequently arriving virus, I’m now hit with childishness and personal attack. Perhaps it’s time to leave.

Salata, Bill
