How will we know how many potential TDE users we are driving away if they don't tell us?
And what does working at the university has to do with the TDE user list, I also do not understand.
The context was being told that this mailing list is like having a job: it's about the social chit-chat. (That doesn't sound much like the jobs I've had. I guess some people are lucky enough to get paid to stand around the water-cooler and gossip all day long, but most people have to actually work.)
@Janek - free your mind and enjoy the "stupidity" of day-to-day life.
You know nothing about Janek, and you're telling him how he needs to fix his life? Astonishing. I'm offended and that wasn't even aimed at me.
The thing I enjoy more are the life stories of people I know.
If you like that, you will LOVE Facebook and Twitter and other social media.
Ahh contrare, I'm fussy about who I share private details with, and I don't touch them two AH's with a 50 foot glass pole.
