Why bulletin boards suck

I prefer live conversations, which never stray and are always on-point for hours on end.

Speaking of on point for hours on end, do people still get spammed with Viagra emails as much as they used to when it first came out?

I dont; after a few of those I stiffened my resolve and outlasted all comers.

I remember those days. reminds me of my first year of law school when we were all using Groupwise for our email.

Has anyone here used groupwise and did they prefer it to Lotus Notes? It would be interesting to see what people here think.

You should have sent a handwritten letter asking them to stop spamming. After all, the pen is mightier than the sword.

It's all in the wrist.

My advice was tailored for creekster, given his flaccid typing skills.

Corkboard announcement boards. Those are fantastic.

I'm not surprised that this thread stayed on topic for exactly 1 response.

I predict that this thread will discuss: 1) the Lakers, 2) boob jobs, 3) JohnnyLingo's exclusion from whatever the f%$# the "SpeakEasy" is, 4) the true identity of Hallelujah, 5) Prop 8 and teh "gays", 6) Joseph Smith, 7) Max Hall and Ute fans, 8) viagra spam, 9) some obscure movie, 10) bananas, and 11) Nazis (of course!).

The 12th topic is the original subject matter: "Why Bulletin Boards Suck".

cheers.

This is a bit feisty.

You are giving out some pretty good bulletin board material that may come back to haunt you

I suppose when you say bulletin boards, you are talking about boards like CUF, CB, or UF.N? (I purposely left CG off of there because, well, it's mostly an online journal now)

From what I have observed, CUF supports a more prolonged and deeper discussion on topics than you would find on almost any other board. Of course, if the topic sucks, the responses will start to stray, or even when it doesn't suck, sometimes there are more interesting aspects to the subject that the OP didn't consider.

The diversion used to bother me a bit, but that didn't last too long. Now, if I think about it in relation to most actual conversations, CUF tends to stay more on topic than I probably would if I were just having a discussion with a friend.

I couldn't read that without thinking of the SNL Celebrity Jeopardy clip when Sean Connery changes that phrase a bit.

You get used to it SG. There is a ton of history between posters here that any newcomer is not aware. It took me a few months to get up to speed. I have simply learned to ignore that which is irrelevant to a thread.

Don't let the riff-raff run you away. You are a good addition to the discussions that occur.

[Levin]

You are a good edition to the discussions that occur.

UteStar, please tell me you are not going to let this one pass.

Edit: Dang it. I got confused by the avatar and thought it was YOhio. I suppose you and JIC could get into a funny tit for tat too.
