[Paddlewise] 'Netiquette: a procedural question

     Being a sort of anal pilot-type, I usually try to get the <procedures> 
     right.  But I guess I'm confused on the local 'Netiquette for 
     PaddleWise.  (A thread a week or so addressed this issue briefly.)
     
     In my (somewhat limited) experience with similar servers, a response 
     to any post defaults as a post to the group; on PaddleWise, y'all 
     appear to have it set up that a response to a post defaults only to 
     the individual who sent the note to which you're responding.  Maybe 
     it's just me (or my system) --- dunno.  Once that part's understood, 
     it appears that, to avoid 'Netiquette violations, it is necessary to 
     "resond to all", and then knock off the sender's address, so that the 
     response goes to the list --- <including> the server --- but not to 
     the sender individually <and> the server.  If you don't do this, it 
     looks like anyone adding a comment just compounds the problem, and you 
     get two or three copies of the same message --- which, it sounds like, 
     generates some bandwith problem in the PDQ --- or whatever!  Anyway, 
     it's <bad>, whatever it is.
     
     If it's just me, let me flop along.  I'll figure it out eventually, 
     and I'll try to get posts out when I intend to and individual messages 
     normally.  I'm a PTI/FNG in Navy-speak --- a Post-Tom Ingram, uh, er, 
     New Guy.  I'll learn.
