Subject: RE: How to Post Professionally
Well, Rodney, you're entitled to your opinion and I tend to agree with it to a point. It's the constant repetition that tends to annoy people, I think - especially since Bill Gates and Microsoft have so little to do with the primary topic of this forum, which is folk music. You can say what you want and add whatever you like to your signature block. You might wonder, though, whether you convince or repel people by the way you present your ideas. It kind of feels like bombardment, rather than persuasion. I tend to bombard people with my opinions myself, so I try to watch the effects I have on others. If people respond negatively, then maybe I should try a different approach.
