Theos-Talk Archives (August 2001 Message tt00051)

Nick,

That is a very good point and suggestion. Avoiding cross posting also
respects the person one may be replying to and who may not belong to all the
lists the message gets sent to. I recently had to temporarily join a list
just to reply to a person who decided to cross post his replies to me on on
a different list. This was so I could fairly reply to his comments and
those of other people who had joined in the conversation on that other list.

Why do we not simply keep the old netiquette practice of posting a reply
only to the original list. I agree with you, it would save all the
repetitive clutter.

regards,

...Peter
