Who has the right to know?

Since I just found this group I have no opinion whatsoever on the individuals who spend time here. that'll change. You'll soon grow to love us all. (grin) Well, maybe. By the way, newcomers to the group might wish to pay attention to the dates of the posts they are responding to. It used to be that news servers retained old messages for maybe a month or six weeks at best. Now, some news servers (such as giganews) retain messages for as much as a year, and those reading the group on Google groups, can go back to about 1996, I think, before the group even became moderated. While there's no restriction against responding to an old post, people may wish to consider whether they wish to jump into a conversation that' died months ago. You're welcome, of course, to start it up again, resurrecting the dead, if you like, just be aware that you're doing it. regular readers, having already waded through old posts, won't see anything more than a couple weeks old in their news readers, as a general rule, and may be confused about just where, out of the blue, a response to an old post is coming from. This particular conversation was from last August, for example. cheers Peter Rowe moderator rec.crafts.jewelry |
