That's true, Neil, and I am more likely to hit 'reply' than 'reply all' and chat one on one. Neil said it all, but I'm still here lurking.

Hi John, I totally agree with you but we probably have to accept that - over the long life of MOPO - schisms have emerged & become fixed. MOPO has become increasingly bad-tempered & tribal over the years and so terrific people who used to post don't now post very often. I'm thinking about people like Andrea & Sue but there are many others. Probably there's a silent majority who just feel it's not worth the trouble posting in case they get attacked.

I agree with Tommy that some people might mistakenly hit the "Reply" button rather than "Reply All" but I am really talking about people who deliberately reply "Offlist" with private comments. They often make very good and valid points and its a pity that they dont want to post to everyone on the List.

People need to learn who to use email. It's very easy.

The decision was made many many moons ago to make the default REPLY TO address the address of the original sender, rather than the mopo-l address. This was done because there were several instances of people who had meant their reply be private to the post’s original author but instead the message went out to MoPo at large. We can revisit this decision if you like, but I do remember a couple of very private negotiations that accidentally went public. You can always use REPLY ALL, then your post gets sent to the original author AND the group.
Opinions on changing the REPLY default?

I suspect part of the problem is that when you click on 'reply' it addresses the response to only the original sender by default, and you have to scroll down to send to all the subscribers. Might be better if that could be reversed.

It does seem that MoPo generates a great deal of discussion but a lot of it is "Offlist" for the recipient only so the thoughts of various members are never made public to the entire list. I wonder if this is just applicable to MoPo because all of the email addresses are readily available. I would imagine that this wouldn't happen so much on the other discussion boards because it takes more time and effort to contact members off list. Maybe it might be better for people to post their thoughts publicly rather than private emails which defeats the purpose of a discussion board.
Just an observation.
