[TowerTalk] Replying to the list...AGAIN!

[RWMaylott at aol.com]

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 requester to put out a  summary of 
all the replies received to the whole list, based on replies sent to  him 
individually.  On occasion, I have asked the requester to get back to  me 
individully with his findings, and this has worked well.  This list is  the most 
voluminous I subscribe to, mostly because a lot of folks think they  need to put in 
their two cents worth (like yours truly) and the train of thought  often gets 
totally off topic or at least highly irrelevant.  If every  comment went to 
the whole list, I would unsubscribe, as there's just too much  trash to wade 
through for the few items of interest.
