  • 1.  Care with reply function, please ...

    A feature common to many listserv lists is the use of reply
    function to respond to prior posts or to post new messages.

    When using reply function, however, all content in the prior
    post will be reposted. This often means that a comment with
    only one or two sentences will be followed by the entire
    repeat of a lengthy message. A message that was interesting
    and useful the first time out has less value as a repeat.

    May I suggest greater care with use of reply function to post
    the list ?

    As an alternative, let me suggest that if you use the reply function,
    you use the highlight and delete on the info that is not relevant to
    your reply.
