And have you been convinced sending the author two messages...makes sense? or that the default behavior is a private response to a public conversation...
I have even found direct emails quite close to rude.(mostly when the responder actually was rude) the default reply should simply target the list ... The direct emails arent marked as coming through the list and are likely to end up in my spam bucketss... or just get overlooked. I am in my forties and preger to learn new tricks that make sense and are generally useful.. fighting with my mail client to avoid double sending to folks isnt one of them. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
