A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

shouldn't I get a list of only those threads I'm subscribed to?
I get that thread (and a couple of others I'm not subbed to) showing up on the message center, but when I go through on Read New it skips them. Doesn't bother me to have them there, I can see where other centers of activity are.
I hadn't subscribed in the first place. . .
Do I just automatically get all threads in "message center"?
No, Sumi. That is weird. But I'll have to troubleshoot from home.
How about taking all your subs off, accepting those changes, and then resubbing.
Well, it hasn't appeared since - - perhaps the Board hadn't had it's coffee yet?
But I want no A-C Spoilers Tuesday morning!

This was me. And I believe the answer is "yes."

I did this. Then had to log out, then log back in, and it worked.

And then in did this to me yesterday, just to make me feel crazy, but then it was fixed.
Sumi is me. [/validation]
Occasionally I see threads I'm not subscribed to, but as soon as I read some messages, or hit message center again, they're gone. Doesn't bother me at all.
Remember when I asked about taking the FAQ off geocities? It comes up when I google myself (what? Everybody does it!), and I'd kind of prefer that it not. So can we just take my last name off it? That would be awesome. Thanks.
Hmm just how far does the lack of ridicule go?
For example if someone admired Henry Kissingers and his politics would it be unacceptable to say "Henry Kissinger is a war criminal"?
I don't think that would be unacceptable. I *would* find, "Henry Kissinger is a war criminal, you moron, and if you really knew what you were talking about, you'd feel differently," an unacceptable thing to say.
In the former, you're simply expressing your opinion, which happens to be different from someone else's. In the latter, you're denigrating a person for what they believe and insinuating that they're simply ignorant.
Either way--only three of us expressed interest, so I think it's dead in the water.
I'm going to go out on a limb and state that when *I* post about "ignoring disturbing political talk", it's almost always out of concern that things are getting too heated. YIDPTMV
