For a moment imagine your getting the list on a classic mac and a 14.4 modem (or less) then think of the joy of finding the one that takes the longest to download is a personal message between 2 list members who not only haven't learnt how to take business offlist but also don't bother to follow both the list rules or simple email manners.
It was pretty obvious that those concerned hadn't noticed that they were posting private messages to the list. It's easily done when you can be dealing with two lots of correspondence, one on the list and one private, both with the same subject header.
However, it surely would have been more logical to have alerted the people privately, rather than on the list?
In any case, whatever the reaction to this matter, experience shows that when non-nannies try to nanny the list, all too often we end up with a long argument.
The alternative is that people email me privately to draw attention to 'anti-social behaviour'. It seems a better option to me.
Non-nannies using the list to nanny is definitely off-topic. Period.
Thanks,
