Re: Important Message-Upcoming Change in Reply Setting



I agree with Christine.  The purpose of the listserv is to facilitate
communication among members of the profession.  If people accidentally
send personal replies to the list, it only stands to reason that, when
this change takes place, they will forget to type in the address of the
listserv when they mean to reply to the entire list.  I fear that this
change will harm the communication that occurs here.

And what good will it be to maintain an archive of the list if all the posts are questions and there are no answers? Theoretically, I suppose people who ask a question are supposed to summarize the answers they receive and post them to the list, but some people probably will forget to do so, and some who summarize may leave out some important fact that would be useful to someone else.
