If someone is specifically named on a MN thread title - eg Oy! MrsXXX , over here!- is it the done thing to open it and have a nose?

Cos I always do, just in case it's something terribly interesting they want to talk about...

Am I the only one?

of course it's the done thing

fryalot · 24/06/2008 20:33

nope, I do that as well.

How else are we supposed to keep up with the gossip in this place? eh? eh?

misdee · 24/06/2008 20:34

no always do it

maidamess · 24/06/2008 20:35

Well, I got to the bit about GD and thought "I don't know what that means. Why the hell am I reading this thread anyway...?" Which got me thinking do other people do that too!!

gd=gestional diabetes.

Wendy, I always do hide them, really I do. I figure they're nothing to do with me... like the mail for someone that lived in my house before me.

PortAndLemon · 24/06/2008 20:48

But it's on the Internet. So more like a whopping great big billboard erected outide your house for the person who lived there before you. IMO.

I read them if the person named is a particularly interesting MNetter or someone I know.

Romy7 · 24/06/2008 20:48

i open that too.
if they can't be bothered to fork out for redirect then that's their problem.

Crikey, maidamess... I have been known to open that too. Which is no doubt illegal or something.... I am a seriously nosey cow.

Romy.... never anything interesting anyway. Usually a chickens catalogue...

Romy7 · 24/06/2008 20:54

pm, you're on the wrong board...

Romy7 · 24/06/2008 20:54

do they really DO chickens catalogues?

Flamesparrow · 24/06/2008 20:55

Yes, they do... she bred rare chickens!

She's probably posting regularly on that MN section .. although, I doubt it actually. She wasn't cool enough to be a MNer!!!

you could pop in and wow them then...
