I have a couple of questions on this topic which I consider may be
relevant to several members.
Often I see a request for help appear on the list for which I think I
would also like to see the answer. Not that I am having the same
problem at that time but because the topic interests me or I think it
may be one to store away for future use. After several days when no
answer appears on the list I just assume that the request was answered
directly to the OP or that noone knew the answer. Sometimes the OP will
send an email to the list thanking those members who helped him/her off
list but often such acknowledgement does not contain the solution to
the problem.
Is it OK to the list guardians if someone follows up an original
request for help asking to also be included in any answer? Or should
that someone approach the OP directly off list and ask to be copied any
responses which they may receive?
