This group IS *mainly* a geocaching related newsgroup. As a result
of friendships or other commonalities that develop from geocaching, folks
start to share things that are not 100% related to navigating to a trinket
box in the woods. A joke, an interesting link, stupid banter that is just
about to drive me nuts, problems, family stuff all gets thrown into the
mix and shared with friends. In the meantime an "extended family" bond
develops between group members. Some folks probably talk and share more
with us than with their regular families for what ever reason. That is
sort of the way it generally goes. If something were to go seriously wrong
with someone of the group i am sure that there are a handful of folks that
will do *whatever it takes* to help get it fixed. I know it is so. BUT it
is still irritating and nearly out of control as has been mentioned. I
filter some folks to the trash at times. Nothing wrong with that. I have a
limit of 500 or so mails a day. After that i overload and start mass
deleting large chunks of mail at a time.
NGR: (Non Geocaching Related) I am still waiting to see that come around
and used more frequently. That gives a heads up no readers to skip if not
interested. If a few more experienced folks start and do it, and
occasionally mention subject line changes (as was done yesterday) , Off
Topic responses & "me too" posts i think all the rest things will
generally fall in line. I have been wanting to post the general guidelines
and other newsgroup tips about once a week too. I dont think that would
hurt much. I may start some time when i remember it.
