I agree, Info is info, not everyone's info is info, disseminate the info you don't like and delete it. That's what lists are for. Put out what's in the news and to discuss it. It kind of hard to post a email saying, "did you read what the times said......" and not to have it.

Personally, I appreciate the one stop shopping to view aviation news and insights from others, while touching upon an aviation news site myself now and again..and many of our list participants do not have internet access making URL's worthless. Also, posting of URLs will really piss people off. I tried it once (maybe twice) and got the third degree from at least 10 list members that they would rather see the story out front and not have to go clicking on it...and then reading a worthless story.

I echo your sentiments here.... It is indeed inconsiderately annoying that by all consideration in this day and age where we can get any kind of news topics we wish to read at our leisure and convenience from the media coverage by any mode of communication like the papers, cable news and not forgetting instant and on-the-spot updates via the world wide web called the internet. I could be wrong, but maybe these people still think that we are in the dark ages probably relying on tribal smoke signals or the pony express or the postal dove to get the news or maybe they think that we don't know how to turn on the TV or cable to watch the news as it develops or even savvy enough to surf the net to look up for news pertaining to the incident other than them feeling obviously obligated having to feed it to us all with all these overly excessive useless postings. Maybe they think that most of us don't have a TV or even have cable or CNN for that matter ! These people sure must obviously be having way too much time on their hands and really don't know how to better utilize it to better use. I share your pain here where every day I have to spend close to half an hour click checking and sifting through all the hundreds of useless spam mails including these in this forum that is taking up space in my email account hampering it from properly functioning, not to mention wasting time to download it into my MS Outlook just to get to the useful posts. Half an hour each day adds up to a lot in a year for total junk, but we obviously have no choice but to be forced to waste time to delete all this completely against our will thanks to inconsiderate people that "can" control this. I just cannot understand as to why these people could not be more considerate and courteous to us all by simply posting an URL to the news source and we all can go read it if anyone of us chooses to. My 2 pennies worth and humble opinion on the issue....

This story was forwarded almost 12 hours AFTER the fact and adds nothing anyone with half a clue doesn't already know. Constant forwards from the SFGate, USA Today and the BWIA/CAL PR departments are darn close to useless IMHO! _____ Do you Yahoo!?
