A reply to a Swap list post should of course be to the OP by default. Easy to tell by the adress in the reply mail panel you write in. If you are perceived as rude by a lister they amy send a copy to the Nannie. Nannies work free. And they are understaffed and overworked. New ones were added last year after a mass walk out when list regulations about such things as top posting were dropped. Please realize the Nannies get little thanks and fill in when they can sometimes overnight. they may be missing a lot of sleep. We depend on them to keep things civilized. So knowing the rules and doing your best to follow them will help the Nannies and everyone else. It is hard to know who the Nannies are anymore. Guess I will have to look for a list. Sometimes they seem like just regular listers. and join in the threads. And if someone gives you a hard time it is better to just gut it out and keep it offlist as much as possible. And you are free to forward the worst to the Nannies also. All in all, LEM is the place to be for civilized support.
