To me, the "foes" thing has little, if any, value. I only read the posts that catch my interest. If they are intelligent posts, I take note. I might possibly respond to them. If they are ignorant posts, I have a choice to make. I can either ignore them or have fun with them. Admittedly, some posts are just too easy. The old adage, "like taking candy from a baby" sometimes applies. Regardless, no one makes me read what's on TubeNet. That is my choice. I don't really need a filter to spare me the inconvenience. I can take care of that myself.
For those who would flame my response(or place me in their "foes" category), I would point out that this is how it is for me. How things go for you comes under the "your mileage may vary" category.
Tubenet Foes???

Wade, if we ever meet in person, I'll be the first to offer to buy the beer.

Re: Tubenet Foes???
Well, this thread has demonstrated how easy it is to tell the difference between self-parody and true venom.
I only hope others see that difference, too, or they'll make foes out of some of the most entertaining writers we have, and perpetuate the dull existence which they seem to want.

The Foe list has to be my favorite new feature.

Re: Tubenet Foes???
I think 'Tuba Foes' is rather a contradiction of terms. We all know that tuba players are the salt of the earth and in my experience mostly nice people. Although some are rather eccentric and talk drivel (maybe including me sometimes?
), it is mostly well meant drivel. One can always just pass by any posts which do not interest, or are nonsense. Once threads start to get silly, I tend to just unsubscribe and ignore!

I think tuba players are people. People are people. Some are quite honest and ethical and some simply aren't.Neptune wrote:I think 'Tuba Foes' is rather a contradiction of terms.

What does the TubeNet Friends feature actually do? The foes feature hides posts from foes. The friends feature does what??

I believe the Friends feature gives you text message alerts on your Friend's food, practice time, bowel movements, etc..
