don't you guys just love it? it's like having your personal forum. it's really great! i hope the mail.app developers are gMail users. there is stuff to learn, which i personally never thought is possible with email apps anymore.<br><br>

I like it for a variety of reasons. <br><br>If you use Gmail status with it, you get the notification of new mail and how many messages in the finder toolbar. <br><br>Also, the keyboard shortcuts in Gmail are cool...you hit C to compose a new e-mail and shift C to compose a new email in a new window. It's also lightning-fast (faster than Apple Mail,) but only if you use Firefox. Gmail is a slug in Safari. <br><br>
I'm with you Giz. I have a GMail, but don't use it. Mail.app's reply threading works for me. I don't see the advantage. Plus I know my mail is on my hard disk where I can back it up myself, and I don't have to read ads to get my mail.<br><br><br>
The imfamous "Lost Weekend."<br>That probably more than anything changed the forums at MC.<br>What irritated me was "Lost Weekend" didn't hurt anyone because it was a weekend and no one was visiting the forum.<br>I am not sure who the culprits were but I think it was you, Alec, Marg (I know it was Marg), and Carp.<br><br>

i didn't enjoy the lost weekend. then again, i don't enjoy any of the post padding-type discussions. that weekend took it to a whole new level. <br><br><br>--<br>one of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. -Plato
Yes, but it didn't hurt anything, Sean.<br>It was a weekend and it was boring and nobody was visiting so they just took off with it and they had fun.<br>I used to be one of the top posters over at MC.<br>I only have 300 posts here and just double digit posts at MC since they changed the forums.<br>I doesn't matter to me how many posts anyone has.<br>There wouldn't be enough "Lost Weekends" in my lifetime to catch up to some of these people nor do I want to. <br><br>
Actually, I didn't have a single post that weekend, because I wasn't there. I was on a weekend vacation, but I enjoyed the hell out of reading it afterwards. <br><br>

then just seemed that way. in any regard, it was bad enough that it led to changes, so someone must not have liked it. for the record, i didn't enjoy it, but i didn't complain to anyone and i didn't want to see the changes that resulted.<br><br><br>--<br>one of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. -Plato
