If you think your reply would be of help to someone else on the list, then post it to the entire list. Otherwise, just send it to the original person. Personal messages such as "Thank you" or "I agree", directed to only one person or regarding only one specific post, should be sent privately to the person, *not* to the list. Please quote the section you are replying to. Don't quote the whole original message in a reply, even if your e-mail program does this automatically for you. Edit the quote to the relevant sentence, or a couple of lines. Reply to messages using the same subject line. Informative subject headings are more likely to bring informative replies. Please don't use the list for personal e-mail. Please be polite and considerate to other members. |
