The reason I have always liked the gathering as opposed to other lists I
have been on is the fact that idle chit chat is tolerated and does enable
you to actually get to know people on here. I suppose it's one of the
reasons I came back (although mainly it was because I'd left something
behind :-))

Do you think? Once in a blue moon we have a few days with low traffic, but
someone always pipes up soon enough.

I could do without the sheer volume of recent traffic, but <shrug> I'm not
that fussed.

Come on Jamie, you've been on here long enough to know how dead this list
can become without idle chit chat.

Agreed. I normally take the view that it's easy to delete stuff you don't
want to read, but recent traffic has been through the roof. Not wishing to
be a party-pooper, but...

I have to chime in. Quick back n' forth nonsensical stuff like 95% of what's
shown up here the past few days here really belong in someplace like IRC or
some chat room. I'm all for off-topic posts but after 50+ one-sentence
messages in a couple hour's time, it just becomes wasted bandwidth. I get
all my mail mirrored on my Blackberry and it's a fucking pain in the ass to
have to individually delete hundreds of useless posts that accumulate in
just a day's time. And I'm sure I'm not the only subscriber that storing,
deleting and sifting through junk e-mail is more than a simple matter of
"skip what you don't want to read."

Think of it as a simple courtesy to your fellow list members.
