I'm sure he will jump in here when he gets back to his system.

All I'm asking is that this policy be clarified. Rick was the moderator
involved. I have a good idea how much work is involved in running a list, so
there's no complaint here. I just want to be sure to stay within your very
sensible guidelines.

I have no memory of what it is you are talking about so I can not either
confirm or deny anything, sorry.

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.

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.
