kitsch and pareau,
Just a reminder: Moderators don't make the rules. We just try to make sure everyone abides by them. It's our job. If you'd like to see a change in policy, I suggest you contact Administration.

Just out of curiosity...you folks can't have these one-on-one discussions via email? I'm not concerned about bandwith or anything, but it just seems kind of - well, unusual to do this sort of thing in front of an audience - like having a personal discussion at full volume in a crowded elevator.
Is the point to keep the world apprised of the status of your relationship? Or is it...huh. I can't think of anything else.
Seriously, I'm not being snide here. I really would like to understand this phenomenon, which I've seen on other message boards in the past. (Interestingly, when other posters - not moi, BTW - asked the parties involved to continue their private discussion in - well, private, the parties invariably reacted by telling the offending posters to mind their own business and that this is a Private Matter, which I always thought a little disingenuous under the circumstances.)

HatCottageQuilts, I explained. It's over. Frankly, I don't know why you singled me out for your question when there have been so very many personal type posts.

What does it matter?
Any thread I don't want to read, I just don't. I have no control over what someone else posts. I don't worry about it.
Seems we are so familiar with each other that we feel we can ask any question and expect an answer that we individually find complete. Pretty damn brassy if ya ask me.

I think you hit it smack dab in the head, GF. Folks who have been posting here together for so long DO feel like they can ask, or express their opinions about whatever was posted between two people. Yes, its on a public board, but it was aimed at a particular person, who answered. Deep thoughts going on here, so I dont know if I can express them correctly, but what Im thinking is, we all "know" each other...like a huge family that some get along with, some dont, some are more outspoken, some are more demur. But we all feel good enough in the "knowing" each other that it makes for getting involved what was meant for someone...just because we ARE all here together. Did that make sense?

No, I don't think I need to elaborate. Do you think I need to elaborate? Do you need me to elaborate? I think I was pretty clear, but if you didn't get it, oh well, that's too bad, I guess. In any case, I've said all I'm gonna say on this, now...
P.S. Hi to you too Kel...and all...

Hey kel...I was thinking of you today! Will tell you about it in email later on. I went shopping for myself and debated on something for you. Didnt do it, but might later on, just for GP (general principles)

Anywho Pareau, I missed your post. If it was for me I wouldnt grouse at having it emailed to me. I'm at [email protected]

Man my computer is as slow as a sloth on a vacation tonight.
Maui, I get what you are saying. About that shopping stuff.....don't even think about it! I still havent figured the right strange item to send you, and if you send me another thing, I might have to send you some Texas fire ants, now hear me, it's only a 3 hour drive for me to go pick some up!
There is no crime in asking a question...but none of us have the right to demand answers from another in any form.
Only you and Kel had posted here when HCQ posted. I* take her post as a legitimate question wondering why people post here instead of taking it to email. I take her second post asking herself to clarify (which was turned down).
I am serious...What is the line between caring and nosey? Have we over stepped?
I am doing well Kel. How are classes going? How are the girls?
