Main List Survival Strategy (WAS: Retreating to the safety of OTChatter

Richelle:
> So, there's a survival strategy?  I tried keeping up with the main 
list, really.  I was obedient and combined posts, careful to read 
all current posts first to make sure the answer I was giving hadn't 
already been given so as not to fill up the list with needless 
repetition.  However, I've noticed that a lot of the people who were 
usually the top posters (and, might I add, more interesting posters) 
weren't posting as much.>

Kirstini:
Yes, yes, yes! I know I might be newer than most - I've only been 
around since January - but even *I'm* beginning to bristle 
territorially at the amount of posts and reposts discussing whether 
or not James could possibly be Head Boy if not a prefect, so I can 
only begin to imagine how you guys must be feeling. And if I have to 
scroll down through thirty, then twenty-nine, then twenty-eight 
little > symbols before getting to the actual post that I clicked on 
in the first place, only to find a LOL, I may go out and vent all my 
frustration on the next frail elderly person I see walking up the 
street. Physically. And I'm usually quite caring and sharing, as 
residents of Aberdeen go. 
I also miss all the interesting/top posters. I was following 
survival strategy A - sticking your favourite posters into the 
Search box, but it's all been depressingly brown for the past wee 
while. Will they go away soon, does anyone think (bad, uncharitable 
wench that I am)?
Just wanted to register frustration. Not really expecting to change 
too many lives with this post. I'm done now. Thankyou.
