Re: [TR] The List is Less Busy These Days

[John Macartney <johnbmacartney@gmx.com>]

Just out of casual interest, how many are still here in comparison to say the 
Millenium? I suspect not many.
I know BookFace has many adherents and I was on it for a while until I 
seemingly upset its algorithms by saying something they/it didnâ??t like and 
BookFace has informed me more than once when I try to rejoin that Iâ??m banned 
for life. Okay Zuckerberg, Iâ??m not in sympathy with your political 
inclinations anyway and I certainly got sick of receiving stuff your algorithms 
were convinced Iâ??d like, when the reality was they bored me witless. Iâ??ve 
been a reluctant subscriber to The Triumph Experience for a couple of years 
which also doesnâ??t grab me. Itâ??s too Standard-Triumph model specific, 
people get upset when they accidentally post to the wrong forum and there has 
been some disquieting and very discourteous responses and no one seems to be 
particularly helpful. Markâ??s monthly reminders tell me Iâ??m logged to 6 Pack 
but I never get six pack stuff coming my way and even with the correct 
password, I canâ??t access it.
The reality (for me) is that tech is going too fast for me to keep up with it 
and I refuse to spend any day of my surely now limited life transfixed by my 
smartphone screen that 99% of the rest of the world seems happy to do. Iâ??m 
not enamoured by either my former iPhone or current Samsung as theyâ??re both 
full of trash programs that hold zero interest and I canâ??t be bothered or 
motivated to learn how they work.
Perhaps itâ??s better for me to once more return to the days of carbon paper, 
card index boxes and an abacus. At least I know how they work!
