Hi Harold,
I "paricipate" via the gmane.org newsgroup. Please keep that in mind as
you read my questions.
I am only subscribed to this newsgroup server and not to the actual
list, and then only a few select newsgroups. I prefer to choose my
querants as opposed to receiving them en-masse, so to speak.
You personally often "forward" to "unsubscribed OP" which is a great,
unselfish thing to do. I see it happen quite often and I see other
places where I suspect it should happen. Perhaps you could square us
away on this one more time:
-- Example: Josh Swan posted about "Wrong software downloaded" on
10-12-09.
How did you know he was unsubscribed?
Where do you forward the response to? Is it [email protected]?
When you are so courteous as to forward for a poster, perhaps if
you mentioned the address you forwarded to in your post a few times,
many of us might start to catch on and begin to do the same thing.
-- I thought that would only have to be done for the "moderated" tags
on the posts but apparently not; what exactly IS the trigger to realize
the querant isn't going to see the response?
I've actually taken a pass on some posts I could have responded to where
no one else did, because I knew the person wouldn't get the post, so I
just let it go by. That's not really a very good attitude when the
purpose is to assist people who need it.
Also, in your sig, you have "Please reply *only* to
[email protected]". Is that meant for when resonding to YOU? Or
what? Is the gmane.org the wrong place to address you?
I'm confused!
Regards,
Twayne`
