But if one looks at one's inbox over any period of time, it looks more like a Movie Poster Advertising Group, to the point that it is the most common and voluminous subject to hit my mail box each week - it is simply, by definition, spam so why comment publicly when almost all there is to comment to is spam? The opportunity to get in front (for free) of 370 odd people (and all one has to do is hit send) is obviously too much of a juicy carrot for some to ignore and so they take advantage of it. I would suggest that one advertising post (or any variable of same) per week would bring back the talk and perhaps turn this into a Movie Poster Discussion Group rather than a Movie Poster Advertising Forum.

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.

They often make very good and valid points and its a pity that they dont want to post to everyone on the List. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Quarles <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2014 9:55 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] About MoPo People need to learn who to use email. It's very easy.

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? Scott MoPo List Owner From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tommy Barr Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2014 7:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] About MoPo 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. Tommy On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 8:15 AM, JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia <[email protected]> wrote: In the last few years I have been getting a lot of private responses and comments from MoPo members. 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.
