It seems that there are better places for this kind of information to be posted, like Fruhead.com for example. Whereas it's kind of interesting to read people's responses (I've skimmed two), unless I save or print them, I'll never remember. Fruheads are really interesting people, and I've really enjoyed meeting quite a few. But I read the newsgroup for discussions about Moxy Fruvous, not about the individual lives of their fans except where that relates to the band. It's not that I don't WANT to know about all these people, it's just that I barely have time to keep up with the newsgroup as it is and this admittedly OFF TOPIC thread will take up lots of space. So, if you think I'm a horrible grouch, please don't yell at me.

Subject: Re: OT: Survey Grouch Sure, don't worry, you allowed to say what you think Melanie :-) Just one thing though, you created a whole new thread when it should have been attached to the survey one, now it creates more off topic space as people may agree with you and then this thread will carry on being off topic :-) It has proved to work quite well here but I understand your point, guess you just have to look at it as though it is a fad and the thread will pass shortly, it of course wont be on going. I don't think you are being grouchy, it is an opinion which is respected like everyone else's. Try not to worry, just ignore all threads or posts with Survey in the header. Or try and make your news reader view things by thread rather then date, just some ideas :-) But by next week this will be all finished so it is just a minor temporary annoyance. Sorry to anyone else this has bothered, but I hope most of you enjoy it and find it of use. It is a great group here, kind people, happy people, the way all newsgroups should be :-) Take care all and all the best, J. > This bothers me a bit.
