Do we really need @?

[HoneySpider]

And @@ and @@@ or whatever? (I don't even know what they mean)

We are a small board, I think anyone who frequents here ends up reading everything anyway.

Probably not....

[estrellita]

It doesn't matter to me. I use it mostly because I know sometimes people like to skip over those parts of posts, but if no one is then maybe we don't?

Considering every so often it comes up that too much baby stuff ends up on the board I thought the @ was the compromise...

[HoneySpider]

Well IMO @ actually draws more attention to the baby talk

The amount of baby talk doesn't change whether there is a @ in front or not, what's there is there

[bk1]

It draws attention but also gives warning if someone wants to skip it. Guess it depends on whether it's better to have warning or just read baby stuff by accident if you are trying to avoid.

I really dislike the @ symbol usage, I vote to discontinue it.

I feel like it's really only relevant in a subject line, so people can choose not to click on a post. Once you're in a thread, it sort of doesn't matter.

I don't have a preference either way.

This is where I am

I know I was very for it when we originally started it but honestly I read everything anyways and it doesn't bother me to read baby/kid stuff from regulars on this board. Everything said is very respectful of us that do not have children on earth, and are struggling in some form or another.

I started using it for baby related stuff because I noticed others were. I'm happy to do whatever the board prefers.

[pooh8402]

I never thought we needed it

I still read it no matter what. I don't think it's necessary.

[travelbug]

I read everything no matter!

[HoneySpider]

Ok seems like we can do away with it...if anyone vehemently opposes, speak now.

I'm glad you said something about this.
