We've been getting an ever-growing number of messages sent to the list as blind carbon copies. Every time a message sent to Sustainable Tompkins comes in from a BCC, an administrator has to decide whether or not to let it through.
A number of those messages have marginal connection to sustainability or Tompkins County, as people seem to add this list to email blasts of various kinds. Others are perfectly appropriate postings, but having to fish them out all the time is not much fun. Please, if you're going to send messages to this list, do so with the list in the To: or CC: fields, not in the BCC:. If you're BCCing the list because you want to send out a message to lots of lists without fear of people Replying All, please pause a moment to consider whether everyone on those lists really needs that message broadcasted to that list. Duplicate messages are also something of a hassle, though maybe less of a hassle for readers than this process is for administrators. Thank you, Simon St.Laurent (one of the list admins) _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
