The quality of posts on the TROM list has periodic bursts of good pithy 
exchanges and long periods of little or no postings.

Everyone is welcome to bring up topics to discuss that will cause a burst of 
pithy exchanges of emails.

[TROM1] Replays (Selections) and first time round

Dear TROMmers,

There was a comment recently suggesting the quality of postings in TROM 
list was higher earlier than it is now. In assessing that statement you 
want to take account of the fact that the replays are selected.  One of 
the purposes of the /IVy/ replays (selections) was to select certain 
emails and send them out weekly to reduce the quantity some people 
received, and of course it was higher quality emails which were selected.


It is good that Robin brought to our attention some points about 
communicating to a group (especially a group like this where you cannot 
observe people's reactions). When I ran the /IVy/ list I developed a 
sort of policy on this. I wrote it up a rather great length and you can 
see it at: http://www.antology.info/articledetails.php?id_art=37 . 
(Perhaps you should scroll halfway down! And start there.)


All best wishes,

Ant.
