Dear friends, this discussion is mostly negative oriented. I will add a positive consideration.
The cross-posting is very important to open the spaces, to connect different areas. For the list server is not a big problem. If senders are not subscribed, they blocked. Simple. The sender get this information. She/he can check the receiver list the next time. We can make a short information in the list. Not as supervision, but as help. many greetings, willi Asuncion, Paraguay 2016-10-10 22:56 GMT-03:00 Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net>: > On 10/10/2016 05:44 PM, Adam Morris wrote: >> >> Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology. > > > You are. > > >> People send messages to a list I run as well as other lists that I have >> nothing to do with. >> >> >> When people reply to the message sent to other lists the replies go to >> my list as well as the list they replied to. > > > If the person replying does a reply-all and doesn't remove the lists of > which she is not a member from the recipients. > > >> Is there a way to stop this apart from asking people to only send the >> message to one list at a time? > > > Attempting to train your list members is futile[1].
