Yes, and no. There's nothing in the guidelines that says either: A) Please do not respond off-list to comments made on-list except when handling a personal attack.
B) Please do not post emails received off-list to the list without the permission of the author. Martin and I each crossed one of those lines in this exchange. I'll keep my conversations on-list in the future, and I trust my list- mates to keep my private messages private. I'd be happy to see those added to the netiquette guidelines, if others concur. Perhaps a small section on "taking conversations off-list"? Dave PS: Did you mean for the paragraph "Like lists that have" to be so short?I think I recall having seen paragraphs in your emails in the past that trailed off like that. I don't want to have missed anything of value you may have meant to say :-). i agree, dave. however, i once responded to someone off line, but only because my reply was not relevant to the topic. the response, in effect, was anything i had to say could be posted online. jon m. --------------------------------- Building a website is a piece of cake.
