Hi All I have a favor to ask of ever one. Because I limit myself to what I read here for many reasons Id like to ask kindly that your thread titles say what it is exactly the thread is going to be about. Almost ever one does that already so its not a big problem. My mind is very sensitive like a sponge and i try to be careful what I put in it. Last night i had nightmares that my brain had a computer chip in it and games were implanted in my brain............it was very disturbing. I'm not trying to censor anyone here because I don't believe in censorship either. It is really just good board etiquette . i hope you all understand and dont think im a bitch!

I sure can understand your request....and I'm glad you said that to wake me up too...as I'm guilty of that. I do also tend to get going off in another branch of a subject other than what the thread is about.
In fact, I'm going to move something I've just posted on a thread that isn't about what I'd posted about.
Thanks for reminding us.

Thanks Toni! Your always so sweet You know theres actually alot of posting etiqutte I never knew about or thought about lymebusters.proboards39.com/index.cgi?board=rules&action=display&thread=9132These posting suggestions make alot of sense including hijacking threads ,paragraghing ,not using all caps ect ect.... I dont know about anyone else but I never paid attention to those kind of things when I started posting on message boards. ps. Also while Im at it ...it woud be nice if everyone posted in the appropriate boards. For example extreem political or religious threads should not be on the morgellons boards IMHO.

Well, I just looked this over too, and lots of things here we're not doing, and should to keep the waters serene.

Wow... what a B I T C H !! Asking us to do that!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Just kiddin! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
That's a great thing to point out friskers. Sometimes the name of the thread makes me think I've gone somewhere out to space when I start reading the thread itself. It can get a little confusing. I know I for one am way too confused to get any more confused cuz then I wouldn't be confused anymore I'd just be gone... see, now I'm gone cuz I got too confused.

So the main beef is politics and religion. Easily done. I hope you don't think I am being a bitch, but one of the main things I specifically like about lymebusters is the diversity within it. Compared to other forums, I really think despite some lack of posting etiquette, it is one of the top boards for in-depth information on so many things. When we start limiting length, and such, we also start limiting information of which that is exactly what I am after. Certain things being more important than others as far as posting etiquette, I think most of us try to follow a high margin most of the time. While we are communicating our needs, I can't stand chasing links all day long. I feel people have already done the work to find the information, give us the link to reference, but give us the information so I don't have to go and do what someone has already done and been. My time is extremely limited despite being extremely interested. Anywho, thanks Friskers for the reminder and I would be happy to limit the political and religious posts as per your request. Frito

Thanks frito for your viewpoint. Of course I dont think your being a bitch. i don't think anyone here is ! Honestly theres SO many topics I don't want to read about not just politics or religion but thats just a personal choice that has nothing to do with whats right or wrong. And like I said I don't want to censor anyone either I just would like to get a clue what a theads going to be about before i start reading it. And i agree its a great board and not a big problem but it does happen . This weekends locked thread could have been completely avoided if threads were in the right category's. heck if I were in the right mood I might even read about religion or politics and jump in and get in on the debate or discussion .But I would make sure i didn't read it in the morning when I'm already feel hung over and like crap from my meds i take to sleep. Trust me theres a side to me in the morning noone should have to witness ;D and I sure wouldn't want to share that here! I would like to avoid that if at all possible, luckily for you guys I had to work over the weeked ! ;D

Dear Carrie I cann't do the little heart to insert into your name. I know that I can be a pain in the a-----se but I am just not good with computers. toni, ant and many others all know this and have been very very patient with me. I am very sorry that I put things in the wrong places Carrie. When anything goes wrong with the computer or I do something silly with the wretched think. I go into anxiety and depression mode. I am sure that I must drive Dennis the computer man who lives just up the road he has a computer cafe and when I am in dire straights I always call him on the phone. He must hate the sound of my voice saying that this and that on the computer doesn' work. I would be devestated if I didnt have access to the board and please forgive me if I make mistakes and post things in the wrong place. Love and best wishes. Roberta.

Dearest Roberta,
I don't think anyone was targeting you. Please don't get upset. We were just trying to cater to Friskers needs and then the thread turned into a little ribbing. Please, don't become distressed by our play. Hugs Roberta....

Dear friskers Ant, toni, Sidney and on another board Lois was sooooo patient and tolerant of me and spent hours and hours trying to get through my thick head in how to get on the board and how to post a message. I wasn't born in this technological age friskers. I was 18 years old when we got our first TV black and white. And Heavens above when my husband bought this computer I couldn't even work the mouse. He has left and wants a divorce after 39 years. Ythats okay I can cope with that as long as I have my dog Kyra. I have had a horrendous time with this affliction friskers for 12 years. I came home one day from work, everyone had been telling me that you can find out anything you want from the internet. I sat down on the couch and looked at this stupid thing and thought and thought and in my mind I said to myself okay if you are that good find me an awnser to this devasting thing I have. Well I was able to get google up and typed in itches dogs and humans and it came up with a board that seemed to understand every thing I was experiencing. I couldn't believe it and thanked God sooooo much for this information. I thought that I was the only person in the world who had this. What I am trying to get across friskers that I am very very computer illiterate I can understand your frustration when things are posted in the wrong place. My daughter is very very impatient with me and computers Love and best wishes. Roberta.
