Raul: Does the change have to be control-R or can it be control-shift-R? I have resisted or in most cases thanked people in advance for answers, but I would love to be able to just hit control-shift-R to reply to someone privately if I wish to for a particularly detailed or helpful response. I know we went over finding the "reply to" feature here a while ago. I know because I have the message and also found in the archives. However, It does not always pick up the address as it should unless it keeps it hidden and puts the list email in the "to" field. At times I have wanted very badly to ask a small question to someone RE their answer to me and thank them at the same time. However, I have been reluctant to do so because I see that it is still addressed to our group. Reggie

Personally, I propose we hand out a survey about drastic changes like this. Another "short-term" solution could be to ask people to write some hash tags when the person feels it is off topic message. However, I think the greatest solution is if members think about their posts before being sent to this list and other mailing lists as well, which could cut down bandwidth (somewhat).

It's about that time again to remind people that thank you messages sent to the list are considered off topic. This is because if you want to show your gratitude to the person who gave you the answer to life, the universe, and everything, it's best sent to that person directly rather than to the entire list. If there are 1400 members on list, and you are one of them, that leaves 1399 members. If you are sending a thank you message for 1 or 2 people, then over 1300 members are getting blasted with this kind of message and it just adds to the already high traffic on list. Yes, I agree that saying thank you is a form of politeness, and considering some of the messages of late on whether to tip or not, it's painfully obvious that some list members still act like children, but still, please send your thank you, I agree messages, or similarly worded ones, directly to the sender when warranted. Thank you! -- Raul A. Gallegos "I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was, 'You'll never find anyone like me again!' I'm thinking, 'I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you?'
