[Paddlewise] FW: 'Netiquette: a procedur

     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.

Yes, it's inconvenient, and sometimes I accidentally send a private
message that is intended for the list. To send a message to the list,
I click the Forward button in Microsoft Outlook and then insert the
Paddlewise address.
