Dear listfriends--
Increasingly, people are leaving the list because of the VOLUME of posts,(
as well as in some cases the nature of many of them.)
Because we are trying to keep messages intended only for one person off the
list
I intend in the future to send OFFLIST to the individual the information
about "HOW TO..." signoff, set digest, etc, etc, etc.
I find that sending these instructions to the list does little good, as
others seem to miss them or not take note, and have to inquire again--
perhaps this will help a little to cut down the volume.
PLEASE remember it will NOT be necessary for other listmembers to reply to
these requests--I WILL do it, but not on the list--just assume it is being
done! :-)
And may I remind us all that if we KEEP the instructions Barb Patterson
sends with her welcome, we won't need to ask unless we have a special
problem!
Those who have suggested limiting posts per person, to maybe 3 a day, have
no wish I'm sure to cut off anyone's communication--only to recognize that
many of the posts could more appropriately go off list to the person being
addressed, and the contacts would still be maintained. Many listmembers are
isolated, and need the list, but it is not intended as another "PDchat
room".
