The definition of several

[Deleted]

In Knot Michelle's most recent message she claims The Nest received 'several e-mails' about the issues with the new format.

Several is defined as more than two but not many.

So how many people of the 10k who defected sent one?

I don't care enough about TN to send them an e-mail. LOL

awww crap. I didn't realize the poll question was not the same as the definition of several. Reading fail! Time for bed.

Me either, but I thought out of 10k members/lurkers that there had to be enough emails for the use of 'many' instead of 'several'.

This is how I feel the scale goes:

One-->couple-->several -->half dozen-->many

[heygrey]

can several be relative to your audience? several of 10k is different than several of 10.

no? okay.

Current poll results make it appear that Michelle was exaggerating. LOL

The definition doesn't even matter because emails are not the reason they are going back to their old format.

It's because 90% of their posters left.

Maybe the one person sent "several."

Dumb ass as charged. It made sense in my head. As a rhetorical type question. Its been a long day.

It looks like I didn't check the box to make it an option. Apologies.

WHO VOTED YES?

Until tonight, I didn't even know you could send emails. I guess I just never thought about it - I didn't think any of the Nest problems prior to this change were bothersome (aside from perpetual slowness I guess) and you guys migrated away from the board before I had time to catch up after work so I didn't spend enough time there to care.
