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

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, but otherwise I hope posts will continue to be to the reflector, so we can all decide for ourselves if it's of interest or not. It only takes a second or two to hit the delete button.... so what's the problem?  My 2 cents...

  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.
