Personal Agendas


Agendas often called do-lists are pinned with decorative magnets to refrigerator doors, carried in brief cases or priority folders within computer laptops or foreheads. Wonder if these agendas are always objective check lists of things needing attention, groceries to buy, things to post and discuss... or if underlying purposes, ulterior motivations and hidden agendas are often involved.

Thoughts?


Edit: Example... eight threads by Mister P presently littering page one of gf Sandbox Street (while Trev33 and gb fathered four each).

Maybe it is just a snapshot of when people have time to get on the boards. As I write this, page 2's score is:

Hi, Moose. Guess it's still true anything can be done with numbers... count of record is of threads, rather than posts.

My agendae are what is needed to be done, not pre-planning because I am so bored of life I need to list everything, in case I forget.

To include a list of things to 'post or discuss' on an internet forum as a daily agenda is really really sad Bobby... almost Shakesperean.

Why did you have to write, " ulterior motivations", when we know it is 'ulterior motives.'? Is this mystique?

Mystique doesn't wash with me. What you got you give, share, get, get back, and share. No obstacles. But now your meds are completely not working, and I'm not concerned, as you are such a genius you will, of course, know what to tell the docs what to do. 😉

Especially when you have ulterior motivations.

In contemporary American English Usage 'motives' generally implies something

suspicious or negative. Conversely, 'motivations' connotes a positive meaning.

Would you consider "hidden agenda" positive or negative?

Two idiots are sitting in front of a mirror.
One said, "Why don’t we meet the two people in the mirror", so they stood up and the other one said, "sit, sit they're coming!"

Wonder who the two idiots are? 😉

In context, HandyAndy, my sole intent was to allow for agendas driven by some individual problem or need at the time. Chose the adjective 'hidden' since these agendas are typically intensely personal, rather than positive or negative per se. That's all.

Phlabibit, this week you seem quite preoccupied with 'reefers' (on a 13+ chess web site, no less).

Your sole intent, as usual, is to be condescending.
