Reminder about Off Topic Posts
Just a gentle reminder that it is good manners to mark your post as OT
when it contains no quilty goodness inside so people who do not care to read such posts can filter them out. There are still people who pay per minute to download the messages and others who for the sake of time constraints must skip our fascinating off topic posts. For their sake, let us all try to mark our posts as OT. By the same token, if you have a post that declares that it is 'Not OT' it will be filtered out by those same people. :-) On the same line, when a threads (group of messages) change their topic do your best to remember to change the subject line to reflect the new direction. Im not pointing fingers. If I were there would be 3 pointed right back at Me, since I have been guilty of forgetting to do both things. Diana, newsgroup police ;-) |

I figure most transgressions come from ignorance, or forgetfulness. I
wouldnt confuse that with rudeness, and neither would my imaginary friends who talk to me and make me post reminders like that. :-) Diana "DJDREVNA" wrote in message ...

Are there really people here paying by the minute? And what do they do about
the "go to my website" posts that take longer than a normal lifespan to load?

They fret, and cuss, and wish longingly for cable or DSL.

I am so glad to find out that someone else has imaginary friends talking to them, lol. All this time, I thought it was because I was trying to find inner peace! I'm terribly sorry.

Yes there are.
If the site takes toooo long it a)can be saved under favouites to look at later and sometimes accidently forgotten b) totally ignored altogether if it is a really slow day But with the cost of changing to cable/broadband/or whatever being at least double what we are paying I really can't justify the extra $$$ Just my opinion for us....

LOL Dee - for us it worked out about $2 more expensive to change to cable
from dial up so here we are. And believe me it was worth every cent. Oh and about 6 months ago we got rid of cable TV - we couldn't justify the $70 odd a month we were paying out. When I rang up to disconnect they offered me all sorts of deals - got em down to $30 a month at one stage. Sheesh. Still we don't miss it at all. -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html "Dee in Oz" wrote in message m... Yes there are.
