Hello all...
I'm a newbie to the list and this is my first message to the group,
but I've corresponded to a few individuals privately, mostly because
I have the wisdom to know what I don't know. The fact is that I'm in
the process of duplicating my TR7 rig from the 1980's and from the
day I broke open all those new factory sealed Drake boxes way back
then until I replaced it, it functioned trouble-free, so what do I
know about stuff that goes wrong or fixing it? (Answer: Not much!)
I did share the remedy Ron Baker applied to my recently acquired TR7
that in retrospect I should have posted to the group. At the time,
as far as I knew, it was knowledge and would have been just a lot of
QRN. I won't be so concerned from now on.
Far be it for me, a newcomer, to criticize how the list is run, but
(here it comes) I don't understand why there's a response to both an
individual and to the list. I realize that some may subscribe to a
daily digest and maybe the thought is the redundancy is so they'll
get their reply right away, but why burden the real-time members with
duplicate mailings?
Based on a time I was getting a hundred or so mailings decades ago
from several discussion lists, many of them duplicates, I'd vote for
the option to reply to the list, or to the individual at the
respondent's option.
73!

Subject: Re: [Drakelist] TR7 issue
Just to jump in here and reinforce what Garey mentioned...PLEASE
respond to the reflector and to the original poster if need
be. You can save the next guy with the same problem a LOT of time
if you share your suggestions and fixes with the reflector (and the
reflector archives).
Don't be shy, POST.:-)

This is the problem with different mailing lists being set up
differently, this one, and the Collins list, is set up so that
hitting _reply_ goes only to the original poster, one must click on
_reply all_, then the message goes to both the original sender and
the list and sometimes others who have responded to the thread.
This one is going to three people plus the list if I don't edit the To: field.
I have heard arguments both ways about this arrangement. For me
its a bit of a PITA because I subscribe to about twenty mailing
lists and there is not consistent way of responding to posts. I've
learned to look at the To field if I am not certain about a particular list.
Everyone thinks their way is the best way which is why we have
political parties and brands of cola.
