I have a very sophisticated email program called Outlook, it enables me to open the emails of my choosing. If there is a thread I have no interest in I don't open it, I bulk delete by subject or period of time. Are people compelled to open every ACE email? For instance I saw the non dental posts subject line here and didn't open it.

Okay, I might be wrong, but I think that Gary might be suggesting that since this is a voluntary forum of ACE dentists, one that depends on the contributions and attention from as many dentists as possible, that some of the devolved conversations that happen and grow and grow - actually might be driving people off.And since we are all concerned with the viability of this forum, we have to think of the value and fun we have in joining the conversation, along with the value of the conversation to someone who is scanning the emails. Many times we all contribute to non-sequitur posts, of isolated or funny subjects, but often we don't know when to quit. If you are in a bar, and somebody drones on, you can always get up and leave the area, but if you are subscribed, you get the emails, often with the wrong heading after the conversation has devolved.And since there is often no personal relationship between the guys firing at each other, things get acerbic pretty quickly. It is harder to smile and tell someone they are full of shit on email!So, I suspect that the general idea is to know when to say when about a particular topic, to be aware that it might not be of interest or value, capeesh?Rick

Since you asked, I'll tell you. you haven't just posted, you have MONOPOLIZED the site for the past week. This is first and foremost a dental aesthetic forum. Participants have paid 300 dollars expecting to occasionally have a dental topic covered. The occasional digression is fun, I do it all the time. But if I go over the top and somebody calls me out on it, I shut up. Occasional social stuff is fun. On going personal conversation amongst a handful of participants not so much.
Personally, I find it inconsiderate and self centered to continue a discussion of narrow scope interesting to a handful of participants. It completely ignores the rights and input of the rest. And of course takes bandwidth from the true mission of this forum.
Again, the occasional banter keeps it fun. But ongoing diatribes should be taken private so those who wish to participate can, and those who don't, don't.

Subject: [ACEsthetics] Non Dental Posts on ACE
I would like to convey that I really enjoy the ND posts on this forum. Whether it be about NSA, or sports, or politics, or even vaccinations. I learn a lot from hearing other people's opinions. After all, us dentists are from a certain cross section of people. We are analytical (for the most part) and fairly highly educated. I don't often hear a Canadian's viewpoint, or the viewpoint of a paranoid fear mongerer (Bruce, (just joking).
Steve Hendry (I don't know the first thing about that guy from a dental standpoint but I know he is a very complicated, thoughtful, and opinionated guy. Why is it wrong to exchange with him, or witness his exchanges with others? We are all grown ups and we won't let this get emotional. Grant Ritchey is the only one who carries things to far!!! We can reprimand him or fine him.
Really, the exchanges make me feel more connection with these people that transcends implant placement and bonding agents. It fills in the gaps. Dentistry talk is great but non dentistry is great too!
After all, human connection is what life is mostly about, isn't it? That, and Abraham Lincoln;s tyranny (just kidding)I don't know why some ACEr's many of which I really respect a lot (Ray Voller) are opposed to non dental posts. It would seem like a "to each his own" kind of thing. I don't open most of the subject matter that I see but I don't "delete" anything. What is the benefit of "deleting" vs. just letting it sit on your computer?
