Karan,
Thank you for writing this message because it brings up something for
me. One of the reasons I do not write on this listserv is because the
replies are automatically sent to everyone. And who am I to question
why it's set up this way? I choose to belong or not belong.
Another reason I am a "lurker" is because I am learning that listservs
have cultures similar to those in organizations. I am a former
participant who now chooses to lurk, use my "delete" button, and/or
respond individually to participants.
I've been wanting to get this out of my system for a while and
appreciate that you encouraged me to do that with your message.
