No, I wasn't "only joking". For all those who've kept schtum recently, wishing that people wouldn't send us witless crap about their lives, but not wanting to appear a party pooper, this is for you: Elisabeth said:
Notice to the whingers, teenage or not: try to remember that out of 1000 or so people, not everyone wants to be your Agony Aunt or Uncle.

Here, here. Surely if you want to keep an internet diary, there are far more efficient ways of doing this than contributing to mailing lists. Set up your own webpage or something, and then people can choose whether to read about your endlessly fascinating encounters with the mundane. I hate moaning about this kind of stuff, but pur-lease, it's becoming a drag.

Jolly glad for Elisabeth speaking up for our rights, by the way.
Does anyone see a pattern emerging? There's plenty more where that came from, I'm certain, and ain't it the truth? If you're going to tell us about your love lives or lack of them, think before you post, ask yourself "Will this entertain, amuse or inform? Will a significant proportion of 1000 people, the bulk of whom you've never met, *really* want to know this?". This is nothing to do with oldies vs newbies, or cliques, or one set of people being prevented from freely expressing their sexual frustrations, there is such a thing as "too much information". This is a good little list and through it I've met some of the nicest people in the world, but not for the first time people who've entertained on a regular basis are not posting and even leaving, because of a few selfish posters seem to think this is a self help group for people with Attention Deficiency Disorder. And it isn't.
