This saves our having to go back (in this case to a previous page) and quess to which posting and link you are referring

Thanks

Whaaaaaaaaat? It appears that LarryW's post #11 was referring to post #10.

But post #10, in this instance, was on a prior page......which I think was LandL's point.

Thanks Ptuner.
Ever wonder why so many sign up and never post?
Lord knows I had no idea it would start another pg. My apologizes to all.

It was a valid request. Many times I read a response and have to start going backwards through the posts to find out what post the responder was referring to. In your case it was one back. In other cases it could be 3 or 5 or 9 back.

It is like including the prior note(s) in your reply to an email. There is nothing worst than getting a reply to a note with a one line answer without the note attached. IF you send several notes, you not have to go through your sent file to try and figure what they are replying to.

I'm so sorry I ever posted a thing.

And I'm totally on the other side of this coin -- I really don't like when a post is copied into the response, especially a long post: it makes the posts too long, the thread too long, a royal pain to my mind. If I can't figure out what the response means, I find it's no big deal to scan previous posts to get a clue.

So, I'd say do what you're more comfortable doing. That really is one of the joys of the internet -- there is rarely just one way to do things and your way may just be perfect .... at least for you.

no big deal to scan previous posts to get a clue(snip).

We totally agree long quotes again and again are a pain which is why proper netiquette and courtesy that saves everyone time is to at least include a snip like we did here - though in this case a quote was not that necessary. Some responses can refer to a number of previous posts, and meanings can get confused and twisted.
The order of the posting can often be overlapped so the previous posting is often not always the one referenced.
This morning's brief post by Yoda , at least on our screen, required going back to the previous page.
No sweat for us, we 'got it' but betcha there are more times than many expect that many have a challenge.
We appreciate a small reference, maybe even a subject line reference, but like you we don't need loonnnng winded repeats or full graphics like the bumper stickers, for instance.
For example, to reference this filibuster of ours, keeping the subject line 'netiquette' or 'quoting' or including a snip would be the thing to do.

I'm with you on this one, LarryWilson. My first thought when I read LandL's post was "how hard is it to return one page back and click on the link?" Especially when the thread is only 10-15 posts long.

Even though it was "kindly suggested", my stomach did the same turn that yours did. It's hard to be an adult and be reprimanded. At my place of work, they call that "360 degree" coaching. I say

I mean no disrespect, LarryandLinda...there are times when I want to correct spelling errors, but hold my tongue (or fingers, in this case!)

I also wonder if the homes will be fenced around them so there will not be views of the Palmer golf course. Does anyone have information on this project - completion projection, etc?

I also wonder why the Morse family allowed this to happen. I am sure the Morse family is powerful on zoning boards or why they did not buy the land just to ensure this would not happen.

Just thought I'd remind everbody of the original post, in case anybody forgot! lol

Thanks Hawkwind for the link. I am glad that it is a part of TV. I didn't have to go to a different page because I have my TOTV to view 40 posts per page it makes it a lot easier to view.

No offense taken here, we're anything but sensitive, even if the gloves are off.-

We didn't think of a better way to suggest that s quote could help.
For us, we can usually 'get it' and clicking back a page is no biggie.
Because then order that responses are posted, it's not always evident, and based on the responses we';ve seen through out this and other BB's, there are even times when heated exchanges start due to ambiguity and twisted threads, especially when the topic so strays.

While we know we could start another thread instead of this hitch-hiker, we know what happens in such a case - the redundancy and overlapping gets even more confusing and milky.
Look at this very thread - 'homes on 466' - we're completely off topic yet few if any have edited or added an appropriate subject line.
If we were looking for follow up on the homes on 466 (by the way, can they be accessed from 466, or just visible from?) we would probably not want to sift and weave in and out through a stray topic - though in this case the quoting/netiquette is a topic of universal appeal to those who use electronic BB's
Though we both work 60 hour full time jobs and hours a week to volunteer, we find it's a courtesy and convenience to take a the extra few seconds to do what it takes to make TOTV a cleaner, accurate, and more efficient place to go.

And you can quote us on that!!

Larry W, don't let all this "stuff" get under your skin, my friend! Like just about everybody at some point or another on TOTV, I've gotten a couple of comments or pieces of feedback that didn't really set very well at the time. I just scratch my head and keep movin' on. It's sooooo easy for people's intentions to be misinterpreted on forums such as this. Don't let it bug ya!

And now, back to the original thread topic!!!

Back to the original thread..... auto access will only be from 466. What I'll be curious to see is if they create a golf cart path cut through to Bridgeport at Lake Sumter (Ternberry Forest Drive?). Otherwise, residents in this new neighborhood will always have to use the multimodal path on 466 to get anywhere by golf cart. Not the most direct route to many places.

Of course, "cut throughs" work both ways ... if they build one, then residents of Bridgeport/LS will be able to use it to quickly get to 466.

Another entry to/from 466?
Soo...let's see....
If this 466 penetration for the new premier village goes just there, though they are near LSL, they need to go via auto out, around, and in?
If there's car access to LSL, they're on a pathway shortcut to LSL, which we are almost certain will not happen.
