It's really an interesting concept... and oddly
enough, it's an option that ALL e-mail clients have... be it on a webpage, or on
your own computer (with the exception of Mr.Mungo, that is *smirk*). It's
called the DELETE option... it may be named differently from program to program,
but the concept is the same no matter what you are using... in some, it might be
"Send to Trash Bin"... others it might be just a big red X... but the overall
function is always the same. To remove an e-mail you might choose not to
read, or no longer have a use for (again, Ross is exempt from this rule, since
his Outlook Express won't let him utilize this option). These instructions
have been quoted to the list time and again... if there is something you don't
want to read, then DELETE it (or send it to the trash bin). No one is
forcing you to read and respond to each and every e-mail that you receive from
the list... I think that in most cases, the subject line gives an idea of what
the e-mail is about anyway. NCR means that you won't find anything about
Creed in that e-mail... if it has the word RELIGION in the subject line, you'll
probably find mention of religion in the e-mail... if the subject says another
band name like American Pearl or something... well, I'm sure you get the
idea. The point is, if you don't want to read it, then DELETE it.
The list is extremely slow at the moment due to Creed being off doing their own
things... we had 57 e-mails go through the list on the 8th, and only 12 on the
5th... so as you can see, some people actually LIKE having something worth
talking about. And honestly, some of the best conversations that have
happened so far on the list the past several weeks have had NOTHING to do with
Creed, like personal philosophies, dreams, and yes, even religion. It has
given us a chance to really get to know some of the more active listers, like
Jim and Jackson... it's kept the conversations going... but in each case,
there's been someone saying "lets keep it Creed-related" and "we really
shouldn't be dragging off subject"... honestly, there IS no Creed topics to
discuss right now... it's all been done. So lets let people discuss what
they wish for now, and if it happens to offend or annoy you, then use that
option I mentioned earlier... that DELETE key...
