This forum (like all forums) are set up with the sole purpose of
bringing like-minded people together to discuss a common subject; in
fact it still says that on the MoPo webpage "Movie Poster Discussion
Group". But if one looks at one's inbox over any period of time, it
looks more like a Movie Poster Advertising Group, to the point that it
is the most common and voluminous subject to hit my mail box each week -
it is simply, by definition, spam so why comment publicly when almost
all there is to comment to is spam?
The opportunity to get in front (for free) of 370 odd people (and all
one has to do is hit send) is obviously too much of a juicy carrot for
some to ignore and so they take advantage of it.
I would suggest that one advertising post (or any variable of same) per
week would bring back the talk and perhaps turn this into a Movie Poster
Discussion Group rather than a Movie Poster Advertising Forum.

Hi John, I totally agree with you but we probably have to accept
that - over the long life of MOPO - schisms have emerged & become
fixed. MOPO has become increasingly bad-tempered & tribal over
the years and so terrific people who used to post don't now post
very often. I'm thinking about people like Andrea & Sue but there
are many others. Probably there's a silent majority who just feel
it's not worth the trouble posting in case they get attacked.

I agree with Tommy that some people might mistakenly hit the
"Reply" button rather than "Reply All" but I am really talking
about people who deliberately reply "Offlist" with private
comments. They often make very good and valid points and its a
pity that they dont want to post to everyone on the List.

People need to learn who to use email. It's very easy.

The decision was made many many moons ago to make the default
REPLY TO address the address of the original sender, rather
than the mopo-l address. This was done because there were
several instances of people who had meant their reply be
private to the post’s original author but instead the message
went out to MoPo at large.
We can revisit this decision if you like, but I do remember a
couple of very private negotiations that accidentally went
public.
You can always use REPLY ALL, then your post gets sent to the
original author AND the group.
Opinions on changing the REPLY default?

I suspect part of the problem is that when you click on
'reply' it addresses the response to only the original sender
by default, and you have to scroll down to send to all the
subscribers. Might be better if that could be reversed.

In the last few years I have been getting a lot of private
responses and comments from MoPo members. It does seem that
MoPo generates a great deal of discussion but a lot of it is
"Offlist" for the recipient only so the thoughts of various
members are never made public to the entire list. I wonder if
this is just applicable to MoPo because all of the email
addresses are readily available. I would imagine that this
wouldn't happen so much on the other discussion boards
because it takes more time and effort to contact members off
list. Maybe it might be better for people to post their
thoughts publicly rather than private emails which defeats
the purpose of a discussion board.
Just an observation.
