With the controversy about the Reply/Reply All buttons, I thought I
would explain to all of you why they are configured as they are
presently.
A couple of years ago the list was having trouble with a similar problem
that had to do with personal replies being sent to the list. They were
personal messages intended for one person only.
Brian instituted a discussion about the problem and how to configure the
buttons. The subscribers overwhelmingly decided to configure them as
they are now. Their feeling was that the Reply button should go to the
entire list and the Reply All button would go to the list as well as the
sender.
Now I can't tell you why the people who responded decided to do this, I
can only tell you that is what the majority decided. After considering
all input, Brian configured the buttons as requested, so that is why
they work in the fashion they do.
Recently, the admin people have had some discussion about this
considering the recent problem. Currently, if you hit the Reply All
button, you will see all addresses you are sending your message to and
you can just click on the addressee you wish to delete and hit your
delete key until only the sender's address is left.
Brian asked for input on this issue and I urge you to respond. Since
most of the traffic on the list is appropriate not much has to be done .
But we have had a couple of incidents where we have had to intervene,
which caused some controversy. If you will express your opinion, the
administration will consider all input and make a decision that takes
into account your desires and what is the easiest path for us.
I have been urging you individually about the For Sale ads and all I
have written or call have been understanding and congenial, and I
appreciate your responses. I take it upon myself to read each message
for appropriate content and, when I am not interested in the topic it is
very boring. However, I do enjoy all posts, particularly the technical
discussions.
Remember guys and gals, keep your posts appropriate and on topic. Read
the rules at the link at the bottom of this message and follow them and
post your input so Brian can make an informed decision.
