Actually - yes - the fact that i "consistently" don't
snip posts means that it is NOT something that i even
think of doing - i honestly sincerely do not remember
that you want snippage here. . . . It is not part of
my online habits to do so. . . It's not something that
enters my mind.
You are being very mistaken in mischaracterizing
honest forgetfulness on my part.
We get so many mails from yahoo with advertisements
and spam text in them that i don't even read the
disclaimer header and footer in the mails from this
list any more (yes, this list is not yahoo, but
everyting else in my mailbox of lists is except for
one). I skip right over them as i do with all
non-material parts of mails. . . It is just one more
piece of text in the mailbox that i don't even read. .
. I don't read the headers and i don't read the
footers.
In this case, you have made a mistake.

I don't read the reminders - they register as just so
much yahoo advertising text or spam in the mails. . .
Some people ignore things like that and i am one of
them who only reads the main part of the posts. And
that is the truth. . .
If my posts offend you so much, please don't even
include them in the archives. It would not bother me
at all if you just deleted them wholesale. What i post
is not of any lifealtering significance, so just
delete them every January. But don't pull this kind of
nonsense. You have made a mistake and mischaracterized
simple forgetfulness as intentional disobeyance. . .
when all it is is being forgetful on my part. . . .
And you have made a mistake in not simply admitting
that you made a simple mistake.
Better still, rather than delete my posts each
January, i just won't post to the list anymore, which
will save you the aggravation of counting snippage
quotas.
:-) It's a win-win. YAY!!! Lurkage, here i come.

Well, i think David Bozzi wants my tiara - and he will
probably look better in it than i do... so thanks but
no thanks....
NO ONE "had to be" the queen of nonsnipping,
Mystress... It is ONLY because you have an
"attachment" to snipping that makes you focus your
energy and attention on it. You could just let
unsnipped posts roll off your back like water on a
duck. . . Think of the energy freed up by not having
to pay attention to who has the worst record for not
snipping? Better yet - you could delegate the task of
trimming posts for the archives to someone else who is
not attached in the same way as you are - to someone
who is more suited for that sort of grunt work. . .
And you never did answer my questions. Which person
posted the most bytes of all and took up the most
storage and mailbox space? Which person was the
biggest frequent flyer with the most number of posts?

I haven't read that post yet. . . but am not surprised
that you would try to accuse me of being passive
aggressive. . . . I am many things, but passive
aggressive is NOT one of them.
Come on MAS, be a sport. Admit that you made a mistake
in this case. It won't hurt a bit, and people will
still respect you in the morning.

I am on more than 50 lists... No other list owner
bothers this much about snipping.
I would suggest that you look at your attachment to
snipping.
It is your list and you may do with it as you please -
that is always your prerogative and your right.
But when a subscriber honestly just plain always
forgets about snipping, for you to label it as
anything more sinister than forgetfulness, then it
says something about you.
And for you to have made the discovery about the
volume of my lack of snippage two months ago and
waited this long tells me that snippage is not the
issue for you. . . If you were sincerely concerned
about my lack of snippage, you would have sent me that
remindergram when you realized the problem. But it
wasn't important enough for you to mention then.
I forget lots of things - i go to the grocery store
and come home without things my family has asked for
all the time. I write myself notes so i remember to do
things. I will most likely continue to forget to snip.
You are not the only one with the occasional ADD
symptoms.
love and light,
rita
