E-Mail Quoting...

That's one of the reasons I like threaded message boards better then email lists. Sure, the information isn't "delivered to your door" but you can follow a thread from A to B easily, ignore threads you don't care about completely and figure out what the latest additions are very quickly. Of course, there's the possibility of the same types of issues you see here with excessive quoting and such, but it seems a lot less prevalent on boards I frequent.

Education (Was radiation)

by melamy＠earthlink.net

my experience has been... 1% of the people really like science 1% don't mind listening to science and can actually learn something 1% will listen but retain nothing now for the gender split... 50% of the males in the remaining 97% are thinking about what the are going to eat for dinner and the remaining 50% are wondering who they are going to sleep with next 50% of the females in the remaining 97% are thinking about their makeup and the remaining 50% are trying to reduce, change, enlarge their physical appearance. best regards, Steve Thatcher
