Hi everybody, I have a small suggestion that will improve the list's operation a little bit.
I notice that quite a few people, being well mannered, like to express their thanks for others' contributions and answers to their questions. This is fine. It's wonderful, in fact. After all, most folks like to feel appreciated. Now, lately our message volume has frequently been peaking well beyond a couple dozen a day. This can be burdensome to people on dial-up or with limited time or energy. Here's my suggestion: If you'd like to thank people, please wait until a number of responses have come in and thank several of them at once rather than answering each message individually, quoting the whole thing, usually, and adding a single line response. You might need to jot down a few notes so you don't forget anyone, but it will be worth the effort. If you've got questions or things to add, don't hesitate to respond individually. In fact, you can often tack on your thank-you's to such a message. I think this way we could probably knock a dozen messages off our daily tally without losing any content nor any of the civility that such behavior contributes. Sound reasonable? If you've got questions about this or anything else, please let me know. I'm always at mdev...@eskimo.com ... Thank you very much, my friends.
