Re: Thanks aka How the value of this listserve has decreased



Feedback to problems posed by listers is what I find most interesting;  whether from modesty or whatever, many replies only go to the poser. A list consisting of invitations to conferences to which I cannot attend, ads for jobs I cannot take up, and above all the iniquities of the Boston Public Library, sorry Mr Saklad, I find of limited interest. I exclude "Rain" from the above.

Easy enough to remind people to use "reply-all" key, but could we not set it the default to "reply-all"?

With apologies to Mr Thomas J Wood, who now has 2 e-mails to delete...

Sadly, we'll never know what good advice Wildenburg received. The
informational value of this listserve has plunged precipitously since the
reply-to-all default was changed. Now, it too often seems to be a question
board with no answers.
