I guess this is yet another netiquette issue that has no objective answer. I could cite multiple cases of lists I'm on where it's considered courtesy, but you obviously believe otherwise. >It takes more work to detect that there is a duplicate message rather than >a private reply. What happened in this case is a perfect example of that. Now that I don't understand. The From: is clear, and having to cut/paste the text from a digest, including replacing the Subject: line, is a LOT more work than reading the From: line. Getting the CC in realtime as opposed to waiting for a digest is also something I appreciate. I wish the common list managers had a "flush" command to say "OK, I know I get it digested, but please send me today's stuff so far". (I suspect that turning Digest mode off and on might cause a 'flush' with some list managers, but haven't tried it. And maybe there is such a command and I just haven't noticed it...) I often get IMs from people saying "Do you know the answer to xyz's question on abcd-L?" and have to say "Haven't seen it, I get that list digested, send me the post please...". But now we're way OT... ...phsiii (not CCing Shmuel) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
