My view is that it should always be considerably harder to reply to the
list. That way, you really have to want the post blasted all over the known
universe to make the extra effort.

Subject: RE: could I request a reconsideration in list policy?
hmmm , let me put my sense here. I've been on the GW Micro info list for
years, almost 10years or more, things are much different then.
But a few things I know it will not change, people will have question,
how
do I reply to the poster privately? And they don't read the signature or
the
text at the bottom of every post on the list.
There will be people who don't know how to grab the original poster email
address from the email header or through their email client.
And also the signature did state all your reply will be going privately to
the poster, and if anything related to GW Micro, please send it to
[email protected]
And how to unsubscribe from the list and so on.

Personally, I would like to see the list policy changed; but I realize
that this is about as likely as snow during the Super Bowl.
Why? Well, that's the convention on most email servers such as
GoogleGroups, Smartgroups, and Yahoogroups.
Secondly, and more importantly, the question one individual asks often is
something else some one is battling.
Thirdly, and this is perhaps the most compelling reason: there is no way
for potential responders to know whether a situation still needs
addressing.
This results in duplicity in effort, no system of checks and balances
telling someone that there response is incorrect; and discourages
researching of answers as I have no way of knowing whether my effort is
worth it.
I understand why many folks like the status quo; and they needn't worry as
the issue, over the years, has been debated over and over and over -- and
likely will someday again <grin>!!
