And of course the bad side is, maybe they aren’t able to find a new thread. Trying to become familiar with a strange site, especially if written in a foreign language would be quite daunting.
I don't know, it's not locking up for me. And if he wanted them to find his new thread, he could have just pinged them to it like he did, instead of adding (in huge font) this is the "new" thread and that's the "old" one.
That's not cool to confuse these new people. Plus, it would be common courtesy to tell me why he did it. I've posted to him twice (very courteously) and still haven't received an answer. Weird.
I have been awake for less that 1 hour and I was checking the headlines first. Then I check my pings after I wake up some.
Reasons I started a new thread...
~ The old thread was getting long and was locking up.
~ When I started this new thread there were many new reports coming out in the media that were worthy of a new thread. (see all the new articles I posted after I started the new thread) - Death toll jump up to 20,000 for 12,000.
~ I don't do ping lists... I pinged you and only you on my first post in this new thread as a courtesy to you.
~ I added the link on the old thread to the new thread (and vise-versa) as a courtesy (and due to past experience) “to all” because I just knew someone would want both threads to be linked to each other. (see posts on this new thread)
~ The old thread is not locked and is still alive. There is no reason to get upset because a new thread with updated info was started.
End of reasons... If these are not good enough for you then you will just have to deal with it.
I have FReep mailed you my schedule today as a courtesy to you.
I would agree. I’m sure he/she has his/her reasons and courtesy would expect a response. Hear anything yet?
