One more cross-posting issue to consider. A month or two ago, I posted a response to someone's query with a message containing a copy of the relevant part of a message posted on another list. A moderator rebuked me for cross-posting. When I posted an explanation of what I'd done, none of the moderators replied.
I don't like claiming credit for a solution that someone else figured out, and so that rebuke has put me in a bind whenever information I have comes from another list. Either I post a solution and give no credit, or I just don't post. Clarification would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2017 10:15 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] correct posting and replying practices It has crossed my desk that I might need to revise the list guidelines after a few discrepancies have occurred. Posting to a single address IE this list is the preferred acceptable practice as we do not allow cross posting. That is simply posting to more than one list or address in the same message. You can post the same message to multiple list, but not at the same time. Now to the matter of replying to a posted message: The proper practice is to simply hit the reply command in your respective email client, IE control + R is used quite often in many programs. Replying to all, for example control + shift + R in Windows Live Mail will only serve to get your message flagged by the server for having too many recipients. Then at that point your message gets held for one of us to accept or discard depending on the reason for it being held. In this case it will get rejected. This means that you are trying to post to the list and another address at the same time which goes against the list rules. I will of course make the change in the posted guidelines and Rick will send them out July the first as he always does. David Ferrin Life is what happens after you have already made other plans.
