Hi Simon and everyone, well everyone on md-l which excludes over
99.9999% of the world's population but I'm beginning to babble...
It was my belief that email posted to a list was considered open for
sending where you like, within reason. OTOH private email is
generally just that, Private. I agree with the earlier guy who states
netiquette means you don't post it to a list "as is", but if you make
it a "someone" said post, and remove all references to the sender I
would post a private mail to a (fairly) relevant group.
Alternatively if someone put a phrase like "Replying privately, but feel
free to post publicly" like I sometimes do, then that's a clear "no probs
with ML sending" to a relevant list.
Cheers,
PrinceGaz -> never known to send irrelevant stuff to a list
