And there you took over my thread. Normally it would not matter but today it does. I'm totally confused. I didn't write the above. I have contributed to this thread, but nothing in this past was part of it. Also, I don't remember you starting this thread, but I might be wrong. Why does it matter today? What's happening? You haven't gotten results back from the CT scan already, have you? I remember you saying it was going to take a while before you found out. But what's wrong with starting an offshoot thread? I can understand why continuing under the same thread but changing the topic being discussed would annoy the first poster, since they'd had a different agenda for starting that thread. I think I might have been the one who did this, actually, because I remember being interested in the Kindle. But what's wrong with starting an offshoot thread? I can understand why continuing under the same thread, but allowing drift to take over the conversation, would annoy the first poster. But I changed the subject line, *and I also removed all the references*, effectively starting a brand-new thread. So the "kindle" thread shouldn't have been connected to Tweed's original thread, and I don't know how she knew that it had come from her previous thread. sigh I thought I understood this. -- Joyce - doesn't use threading I want freedom, the right to self expression, everyone's right to beautiful radiant things. -- Emma Goldman - - - - - - - - - - - - - She would know that it came from her previous thread because the new thread started with my statement from Tweed's thread. Still, I agree with you. This was a completely separate thread. Nevertheless, I did apologize to Tweed because her thread dealt with her medical issues, and she has been suffering greatly for some time. MaryL |

Thanks. I did not know that. Please let me know if the markers I placed above this response work better. Probably. It's still impossible to say, because you answered inside CatNipped's signature area. Not only does your reader not put markers, it does not remove the signature of the post it replies to either. You left in place CatNipped's signature line - the two dashes "--", and since you replied below that, it was all one giant signature again. If you remove the signature, though, I think the new pattern might work. And, of course, what I really *should* do (and I have known it for a long time) is get a better newsreader. Indeed. -- You'd be crazy to e-mail me with the crazy. But leave the div alone. * Whoever bans a book, shall be banished. Whoever burns a book, shall burn. |

That's interesting. I guess he enjoyed the wonders of modern technology only in the fantasy that he himself created. I can understand this, actually. I've worked in the tech industry for 30 years, but I'm not particularly attracted to gadgets, and I'm pretty slow to upgrade what gadgets I do own. My last computer was 10 years old when I bought a "new" one (actually a used one, and it's not so new either). I never rush out to buy the latest wizzy toy, although I eventually get around to it (long after everyone else has moved on to something else). Many of the techie toys I own are hand-me-downs from a good friend after she's upgraded. I still use a VCR and a flip phone, and have never used a GPS system (I have a decent sense of direction so why would I need it?) It can be a little embarrassing when talking to fellow computer techies, who seem to feel that we should all have the very latest of everything. On the other hand, the stuff I use works fine, and I'm not all that anxious to part with my money. That's the issue in a nutshell: cheapness. I'm not so much afraid of new technology as I am afraid of debt. But I also hate how all this obsolescence is deliberately planned. It's so wasteful and toxic. There's no real reason to dump out perfectly usable stuff every 18 months. /rant Same here. It took me the longest time before I got a digital camera and a desktop PC. I worked on telecommunication software for 20 years. My home phone was a test model. Still don't own a cell phone. No laptop either. I got my e-reader recently just so I won't have to carry heavy books around. I got a cheaper model instead of a tablet or an iPad. And it was a Christmas present. I didn't replace my PC until it finally died on me. I am retired so have to watch my expenses -- Joyce Beauty and music seduce us first; later, ashamed of our own sensuality, we insist on meaning. * * * * * * * * *-- Clive Barker |
