Re: (313) Deaf Ears
I'm afraid it's pointless Martin ... I've pointed out the same thing again and again and again, and no one does anything. They just can't be arsed to select all the old replies in their followup and press to remove them - it's just too hard for them to do, apparently. Even though we ALL know that when you read a message that consists of the reply at the very top (a non-sequitur - replies should come *after* the text you're replying to) and al of the previous 23 messages in the thread below that, *NO ONE READS ANY OF THOSE PREVIOUS 23 MESSAGES THAT GOT INCLUDED* because the poster couldn't be arsed to select all the old text and delete it. Personally, I used to like Usenet software that rejected posts with more lines of included text than new text. Draconian, perhaps - but it at least made you think about what you were posting, and it made you whittle down the old text, like it or not! - Greg
Re: (313) Deaf Ears
I think the list isn't setup correctly. The autoresponder is the author of a mail by default, it should be the lists adress. So in order to reply to the list i've got to use the "reply to all" button which automatically sends the mail to the list, the writer and everybody who answered already (using the cc: fields). Pretty annoying, cause i usually use the reply button which sends the mail to the author, i wonder why my mail didn't make it to the list, so i reply to the list again. There you get the 2 copies. Bet it happens to others the same way. Dear list operator, change that please.

RE: (313) Deaf Ears
I guess it's to do with the volumn of the music people have been listening to in clubs... You have to really SHOUT to get heard over that perminant buzzing noise Or Could be to do with if you do reply in Outlook it'll send it to the individual, not the list. So you have to do reply all to get it to the list..? > > Why do people insist on send a mail to the list and the > individuals as well? > >

Martin, Martin Dust wrote: Why are people still not edit mails and simply returning them to the list with the previous mail and 23 copies of their company notice on? Why do people insist on send a mail to the list and the individuals as well? Martin There is one good reason I can think of for replying to the list and the individuals - if any of the people you reply to are only receiving the 313-digest, then they will see any responses to their emails more quickly, rather than getting the digest the following day whilst an enormous thread (Jeff Mills anyone ? ;-) runs and burns out unknown to them. Saying that I've now given up on the digest because it's become unusable due to people sending all of the replies back to the list ! sImon -- ___ sImon Pascoe BSD BIX ___

> > fight fight fight. Not really :) > erm, personally speaking, I can't get rid of the company stuff on my email, > I've tried. True but if people edit mails properly you wouldn't get ten at the bottom of each mail... Also, the digest edition of this list is now unreadable, which I think is an issue for us all... Martin

If you reply to all, that's what it does - why does it matter anyway?

Why are people still not edit mails and simply returning them to the list with the previous mail and 23 copies of their company notice on? Why do people insist on send a mail to the list and the individuals as well? Martin
