Trimming down the bulk - Proposed topics to be deleted

I am not going to be responsible for brining up more christian influence just for the sake of remaining on the board. Maybe I should accept that I agree with GOULD. I do not see how it makes sense to selectively delete posts once the policy otherwise had been maintained. My interest will IMMEDIATELY dwindle as soon as if this happens. This is not a "threat" or intention but the reason I dedicated so much effort and time here was becuase of the stable nature of the reporting. Without it I may simply not choose to engage others here and maybe even stop all c/e postings. The problem is not
"deleting" per say but having already attempted to follow administrative constraint on JUDGING others (nos like behavior) an ABSOLUTE as opposed to self imstituted restraint becomes obvious and objective that can be taken as discrimination. This is an EvC Forum and not a simple discussion group. The challenge really as administor has been to keep flaming and slamming down to which the board does so much better than others it is even funny. My mind will just not be here in this case. Bye bye or good luck the choice seems to being taken from me.The point of keeping the posts enables others at any time to join in by finding these little cited posts. I have not hard feelings.Just because I might not notice some of my posts deleted does not mean others wont. I have been wonderfully surpised when others bring up stuff I thought was long gone. That is some of the magic of the net. The threads ARE not of equal quality. It was asked to stop setting up new topics. So instead I dug into old ones only to find admins after playing double posting games to consider canceling older posts that had not been responded to . This is visible and unnacctepable to me. I think this is what is called "hosting-up" as defined on the "new" by origins standards E_V_c cComunity. If the process was transparent it is ok but when visible that is no reason to take adminstration to "another" level. I have no interest in posting theMOOSE the pet shrew of an ice age I do not squirrel away every time the host thinks he is golden. I would not be interested in posting there EITHER. The black background works. KEEP IT TILL C/e has a more mainstream presence. IT will some day GOULD's biology can also be puresued non-linearly without millions of years but it is much harder. THe net web is a nonlinear medium. I do not have the time to start all of these postings over some where else.[This message has been edited by Brad McFall, 01-19-2003]

That's fine. If P thinks he pays too much for me he may have decided it is not worth the possibility of c/e going mainstream. I am not saying i will go, but if I am able to see any effect elsewhere I may indeed. I really am planning a move back to school and I may not have as much free time as it is anyway. The conclusion I have in mind will take more than the interesting ecletic internationalism this board possesses. I would not be averse from deletions if categorizations were made more "free form" by having the larger topic divisions realined with the actual posting history...I did notice that after I was able to read my way to the board often rather than finding that others had been reading or were led into the same pathway I took they simply took to posting immediately on top (within a group). It took me some time to break the category barriers so that I can significantly post in ANY area.If one had an adaptive managment program that could search the titles and subloop newly formed ones within already existing ones based on some number of matching words then one could maitain a temperory "reorientation" file that presuablly would cause for the adminsistrator MORE mem space but is only maintained untill all the parties to the "automatic looping" of a topic thread become verified of having found the new loop location. Then this temp file can be deleted.As posters learn the angular momentum of this system if implemneted one may be able to decrease the excess posting simply by making known where the most traveled paths are. To cut back as greyhound does (with what counts as local and what round trip does not seem to work.

This is what I am saying. The work is too large to start trimming without taking even my practical considerations into account. Obviously the one footing the bill as the right to bear no harm. Gouldilocks and three bears will have to continue somewhere else then.an armadillo is not a galapagos turtle and Vonnegut does not have the last word.

sounds good to me
