Re: Discussion List Style - Request For Comments

Justin, I am on probably way to many forums/mailing lists, but I can testify that one of the biggest annoyances on any list is some newbie replying to a post and sending it to both the list address and the originator(s) of the post Real amateurism in action
A reply should be directed back to the forum and only the forum aka mailing list unless the originator requests otherwise
OK, but the problem right now in a Dada Mail list, like this one, if
you hit, "reply", the message is addressed to the list
If you hit,
"reply all", the message is addressed
to the list, not the list
and the original poster
This is what seems to be broken in Dada Mail
This new feature - doing things in a more traditional sense, should
allow you to do this:
Hit reply, and replies go to the list,
Hit reply all and replies should go to the list, and the original
poster
I think
Your ideas on what's right and wrong for list etiquette are a little
abrasive to me; hopefully a discussion list should be as intuitive as
possible, yet the actual medium and mechanism of this medium does
make this problematic
Perhaps the list owner should make the rules for the lists
That's
me
:) Since this list is pretty low traffic, I don't see a really
huge reason to enforce any one style of posting, replying, etc
The
rules I'd like to follow are stated on the list's own page:

ta da!
I think one of neat things about email is its freeform-ness
Everyone
has their own style and I'd love to keep people expressing it
Right
now, it doesn't seem to be getting in the way of communication of
