Dear Monica,
Well, to be clear, I didn't wish to say anything on the open list
since, knowing how some may take any suggestion, even if meant
helpfully (as explained in my longer subsequent posting), as a slight,
a private rather than public message was thought more appropriate in
this case. Just because someone's name is on this list doesn't prohibit
one from conducting private communications if considered more
appropriate (and tactful..........).
In general I think the usual protocol is probably the wisest to follow:
a personal message is just that. Ralf Mattes well sets this out in his
message yesterday.
And yes, if we think it more appropriate to discuss things personally
with another individual list member (who we may already know anyway)
then I can see no problem with that. Indeed, some of the more useful
and helpful messages I receive from time to time are by from individual
list members not copied to the entire list. Horses for courses I
think..........
regards,
Martyn.

I think that what I was trying to say has been misconstrued - as is
often the case with these arguments.
If you are on Facebook - or Earlyguitar.ning people can only contact
you directly if you accept them as friends.
This list is different. Anyone can join, there is no moderator, nobody
decides who may join. That means that everyone on the list has access
to everyone else's e-mails. This facility should not be abused.
As I understand it Martyn contacted Anton after he had posted details
of his latest intabulations on this list. If Martyn has anything
helpful to say that might help Anton to make his work even more useful
than it is already - and a lot of people do find it very useful and are
grateful to him for posting the details - then why not say it here. We
have discussed this before.
Does being on this list mean that anyone is entitled to engage in a
one-
to-one correspondence with you?
Better leave it at that as this will probably be misconstrued too.
Monica
