Hi Greg;
No need to apologize; unless your replies are personal in nature then
you are doing the right thing as the List is meant to be a "threaded"
discussion. The main thing to think about before you hit the send
button is whether your reply is really relevant to everyone. It's
kind of a subjective policy so just use your best judgement.
Here are 2 examples:
email: "What is the best kind of metal detector for meteorite hunting?"
reply: "The Fischer xxxx because ...."
-> this should be CC'd to the List as the info. could benefit the List members
email: "I saw a show last night about meteorites that was good."
reply: "Cool, I saw it too."
-> this should not be CC'd to the List as it does not really add value
Regards, Art

To the List,
I've been responding to messages from people on the List by sending them
a reply and then carbon copying my message to the Meteorite List. I was
told that this was bad protocol. I thought that I was doing things
correctly. I thought that this was like a forum and everyone kind of shared
communications. From now on, I'll make sure I look at who sent me the post
and I'll only post it on the List if the List was carbon copied when the
message was sent to me.
Would that be the correct procedure?
Any information here would be appreciated. I want to do what's right.
Thanks.
Greg Lindh
