I am new at the list, unknown to most, but...I have been on
the Mac-Managers list (professional Macintosh Systems
Administrators), and they use a scheme that might be of some
interest/use to the Group.
When a problem is posted to the list, all members are asked
to reply ONLY to the one who posted. Then, when all/most of the
replies have been digested by the poster, he/she is asked to post a
SUMMARY, to the list. What this does is to reduce the bandwidth of
cross posts and redundant posts to the list.
Having said all that, I do enjoy the list, and all it's
postings, but then I am retired and don't have that much to do,
(except play with my TR-3). The Mac-Managers also has a "list-mom"
who monitors the list and gently (most of the time) reminds the
posters to reply only to the original post.
They also maintain an archive on a web-site of all posts, but
that may be way too much work for anyone who is just trying to enjoy
their passion/hobby/motorcars.
I make this post to the list in the sincere and earnest
desire to help and possibly improve our little? community.
Sincerely
Bill Pugh
