I often remove the person's E-mail address if its not some form of urgent posting (like this one) or where they may not care about the response, especially if I'm just adding to a thread and not actually responding to them. It is a good idea to always CC the person you are replying to because he may not be on the list. BTW, if you have an urgent problem, or if you would reduce the chances of having one, purchasing MySQL support contract is a good idea. -- Sasha Pachev Create online surveys at http://www.surveyz.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is something the list admins might be able to sort out. It's common for mailing lists to set a reply-to header, so that replies automatically go to the list, and not to the originating poster (all the mailing lists that I run do so) but this list does not.

Some lists I subscribe to have the opposite extreme policy - no-one must reply to the list at all; they reply to the original poster, and then some time later the original poster posts a summary of the replies. Works quite well, and keeps the traffic down, but does take some discipline.

Personally, I like em, the list is often slow, by a fact of a half hour at times, that is too long to wait for a message to show up. With the reply to list and sender, you get the answer faster, and you also help the list keep a good archive so others can be helped later. I think it would be very simple to create a rule in your email application to nuke the messages that you do not want. -- - Scott HanedaTel: 415.898.2602 http://www.newgeo.com Fax: 313.557.5052 [EMAIL PROTECTED]Novato, CA U.S.A. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

While most of my posts to the list seem to appear withing a few minutes, I can remember many occasions when they took more than a few hours. What I have a problem with is people piggy-backing off other people's threads.
