I'll probably get a bunch of replys jumping all over me for this. . .
BUT too many people who use this listserve don't know the proper use of
their mail systems regarding this type of communication. Users can and
should send mail and responses to individual users as well as the group,
but make the distinction before you send out a message.
Not every posting that comes over physhare needs to have a response to
the entire group. If people belong to only two or three listserves with
users that seem to operate the way that most do on this group, you could
end up with 200 to 300 pieces of mail each day. Unfortuately there is
some "good stuff" hidden in all the messages to Judy or Mike, but I'd
rather just baby-sit my delete key to clear my mailbox.
There are some users that have to pay for received messages or
disk space on their servers, so a little courtesy in sending mail or
simply responding to postings is in order.
Try to be a little more selective in how this listserve is used.
It's great at this point but I can only see it getting worse through poor
use by the membership.
