FLASH: On-Topic: Regarding OT posts, and the appropriateness thereof[was: Alan's Yada Yada Post]

[unique]

Alan,


I hate to see you leave the Flash list. At least, not for the 

reason(s) you stated.


A much better remedy regarding the way you feel would be to set up 

email filters so that you only see the posts you want to see, or so 

that you don't see the posts that you don't want to see. Good email 

programs can be set up -- pretty easily, I could probably tell you 

how -- so that YOU CAN CREATE FOR YOURSELF an Inbox that only has in 

it the Flasher emails that you want to see.


Also, you should know that, as the Flasher list gets slower (on 

weekends, wee-small-hours, holidays), it temporarily gets "chattier", 

too. This chattiness seems abruptly to end as "back-to-work" ensues 

once again.


Really Alan. At least create a filter that sends all Flasher emails 

directly to a separate Flasher folder. Then, you can sort by subject, 

and ONLY READ THE ONES THAT INTEREST YOU.


To get onto a list, an then to complain about "irrelevant" (In Your 

Humble Opinion) posts, only serves to make *you* look foolish.


[BTW, in case you haven't noticed yet, I'm the guy whose post you 

quoted as an example of stuff that you don't like. :-) ]


SO, all I mean to say is, don't throw the baby out with the bath 

water! Flasher is a Way Cool List.


HTH,


Ken Sherwood, who likes to post more than many people, and who 

assumes that adults have the maturity to make choices, about which 

posts to read, that are in alignment with their personal tastes.

"In particular, I was musing about where Flash would be in a couple 

of years.  Right now, it's been delivered to a vast number of 

clients, either by being packaged with a browser, or via a download. 

Developers are now developing Flash content that is small yet 

effective visually.  It seems to offer lots of design possibilities. 

Will it still be here in 3 years?  Adobe, who has deeper pockets than 

Macromedia, has announced a Flash competitor.  Will Macromedia 

survive?  Will their vision and focus, so far unsullied [*sic*], 

survive?"
