NICE note. Mebbe it is wise to go back and visit the change....... put it up for vote? I don't like the idea of "he who whines the loudest wins." ted

Originally, the group's response was set to Reply to the group. Sometime within the past five years the group had a major problem with private responses being sent to the group rather than to individuals. At the same time, we had quite a few personal attacks on individual members sent to the group. A poll was set up, and a majority voted to change the settings to have the Reply go to the individual. About this time, I became a moderator, and in discussions with the other moderators was told that this change greatly reduced the moderator headaches - the off topic e-mails were generally going to the sender of the original e-mails, and the vicious attacks were also going offlist (not fun for the receiver, but the list did not have to deal with them). I admit it is a pain to have to double-check the address in the Send To, but I try to do that for all e-mails so I'm sure only the intended recipient receives the e-mail. If you have problems sending e-mails, feel free to ask on list, mentioning what you use to send e-mails, and you will get lots of help, hopefully offlist. > > I do thank those of you who kept us on "topic" through this - Tom and Bob for posting photos, Don for updating us with product, and those others I'm missing (I'm still wading through e-mails after a very long weekend with work and kid activities). > > Mark Plank > S Scale list group owner > > -- > Want an e-mail address like mine? > Get a free e-mail account today at www.mail.com! > Yahoo!
