Personally, I think it would benefit us all if discussions were kept on-list. For one, it would enable any future volunteer to step up to help by browsing through past e-mails to get up to speed. Second, it creates a sense of openness and a willingness to share. Off-list discussions tend to create a sense of separation: those who got the e-mail and those who did not; those who are in-the-loop and those who are not. Lastly, it allows for continuity and succession for the next wave of volunteers to learn about how things were done in the past. Granted, keeping conversations on-list increases list traffic. But that problem can be addressed with mail filters. Regards, - Robert
