10/30/95

Jane -- As always, you are succinct and to the point. From yet
another back row person, I would like to say here that I have
always felt about Tweeters that we are, rather, all in one big
circle, all in the front row and in the back row at once. Some
of us may prefer to listen more than speak -- I am one of
these -- and it is, IMHO, not possible to tell from my silence
whether I am enjoying myself or not. It is also not necessary
(and here I am writing from experience of my own) to be
speaking to enjoy oneself.

re Jane Hadley's comments of 10/29/95, as follows:
---

I am mostly a non-poster but would like to say that I agree with much of
what Janet Hardin and others have had to say about Tweeters discussions.
I do sometimes weary of some of the threads, but that does not make me
want to boot them off or abuse their contributors.

Also, I don't understand why Mr. Deardorff is knocking the frequent
posters. Newsgroups are not like live discussions, in which talkative
people can effectively keep others from ``getting a word in edgewise.''
Frequent or off-topic posters do not keep anyone else from posting. And I
agree with Janet that many of these people keep Tweeters interesting.

So, I vote to keep Tweeters the way it is.
