Subj: E-MAIL CONCERNS
Regarding responding via your internet e-mail address on aol. I'm getting more and more requests of this type. Thanks but no thanks. I respond to e-mail via the system it's received from. With the overwhelm of mail received each day I just can not invest the time to log off of one system (the Club 100 BBS) onto another system (The Dock!) ... back and forth, and back and forth ... just to please each persons perferred e-mail address. I am not alone in my concerns. As an information provider, I, like absolutely everyone else, am well beyond the overload stage with "incomming rounds!" Yes, you probably ment well ... giving me a choice. Thank you. I appreciate the thought. It's the other side of the coin ... those that do not realize that all online computers are "not" interconnected, and the sysops are overburdened with an overload of overwhelm ... everyone screaming to be heard, first, if at all. Well intentioned, we (I) attempt to keep up but must prioritize absolutely everything, now ... more then just e-mail. We too, must remember we work to live not live to work. This [doing too much] is a major medical concern right now ... and growing. As one of thousands of American males on high blood pressure medication, I assure you, I must prioritize or die young. Thanks for posing the question. -Rick-
