Re: [ozmidwifery] Junk Mail

[Mary Murphy]

I think that this kind of dialogue began when the list changed its "reply" format.  Instead of being able to reply individually to the person one has to reply to everyone, or send and individual email to the original sender.  It is easier to hit "reply" and of course it goes to the whole list.  MM ----- Original Message ----- From: Rosalee Shaw To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 12:38 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Junk Mail At the risk of offending, I feel obliged to have my say.   Despite ozmidwifery being a "Chat" list, there are some among us who appreciate the opportunity to have a convenient professional forum to discuss issues and provide support to each other.   But I am forever frustrated by my overflowing mailbox, full of personal, and sometimes private emails which should be part of conversations between individuals.   I am frequently turned off by the volume and the content of trivial, one liners, and frankly I don't have time for it.  I understand that others are not responsible for my busy life, and that some midwives feel isolated and  ozmid serves its purpose, but please make sure that only those matters which concern the WHOLE list go to everyone.   Yes, I am a cranky old stick,  but that doen't mean I don't have a point.   Thanks for reading this far.
