Re: [Killietalk] Silent participants



Maybe my posts are not intelligible, but I have said over and over - Mark the notifications option to receive an email with full text and you don't have to go to the forums unless you want to reply.

Subject: [Killietalk] Silent participants

I've been sort of lurking here for years. My tanks are empty at the moment waiting for me to finish up a few remodeling projects.

I don't know how many others are in my position. Not that it matters as I can really only speak for myself. I have participated in internet forums and mailing lists for years going back to the BBS days of forums and live chat groups. I just wanted to point out the one HUGE difference between the two.

With an e-mail list the news and opportunity to participate comes to you along with the mail you will/may read anyway on as regular a basis as you choose. While with a forum, you must take a moment out of your busy day to go to that place where you wouldn't be except by a deliberate choice to do so. E-mail is there anyway so long as one does any e-mail, the killietalk is always there. If you filter mail as I do, it always has a place. I can dip in and read the latest with no special effort. There is a constant reminder that I do have an interest even though I'm not currently actively participating. That will never happen with a forum.

....... just my thoughts
