The message below was in reference to "cutting aluminum tubes". Here the poster had a very good question and received a good number of replies! I would have liked to see these replies as I'm sure I c
I strongly agree, and I almost never reply directly to the original poster of a question. If I do, it is by mistake (or because I specifically want the reply to be private). I really think that the d
I've always figured that the question was asked here, and should be answered here. My replies all are via the reply command and I quickly wipe out the personal address and replace it with tt, which i
I suspect that some people may reply in private to avoid possible flame comments. There are others that seem to delight in that kind of activity. Just my two cents. 73, Bob W7KD the of a question. If
I strongly DISAGREE. Replies should go to the requester ONLY. I had no interest in "cutting aluminum tubes" and deleted the original plus all replies, unread. A good policy is for the original reques
Of course the question begs to be asked, why did you reply to the list? _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather
I think it should be a matter of convenience to the majority of list participants. I can plainly see your vote is to not reply to the list, but do not understand the reasoning behind your choice from

wade A rather elitist attitude I must say. Why is that what I have to say is probably 'trash' while what you want to read is an 'item of interest'? Your presence on the list puzzles me. How does that
This grouchy olden farte agrees with you. The key point, I think, is that the archives are useless if they only refer to the question and never show answers. A topic I'm not interested in today, may

How could any of us possibly know if a posting is of interest or not if it is sent direct and not to the reflector? Sometimes a poster asks for responses to go direct, and that takes some judgement,
IMO, "Anything" of general interest, or a general interest topic should go to the group. Although this is not a technical thread it is of general interest. Sure there's a lot in which I have no inter
Yes, but perhaps they have thinner skins than they should. A reply is NOT a flame if it says "I think you're wrong and here's why." That's peer review, and it helps keep all of us straight. It preven
For what my opinion is worth-- I think the list should be set to "reply to list" I learn a LOT from other peoples problems and the (Usually experience-based) solutions. This list has some of the most

Jim, this is the most spot-on comment I've seen on this thread. To paraphrase another poster to whom I responded a few days back, I think this is the "definitive" answer to the reply-to-list question
I am new to all this, and I subscribed with the hope of learning something. If replies are not public, I learn nothing. I understand how much mail this reflector gives us all to sort through, but for
