Post to the group

Apparently this group is set up so that Replies go only to the individual, not the Group. That doesn't seem commensurate with expecting that replies will help others with similar problems. Which Is the intent?
Also it would help everyone if A. Replies included some of the text to which they are replying so as to make sense of the comment, and B. only enough of previous posts was included to make the new point, rather than Pages of prior posts. But that's preaching to the choir, and the same happens on All internet forums. At least 300 baud Dial Up is no longer with us ;-) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

That reminds me; I still have a 300 Baud modem that I built from a magazine article the Texas Instruments club designed and published eons ago. The filters were excellent. That enabled us to send data from one computer to another. Look what we have today.

The intent is that you decide how your reply is to be handled.
There are two ways to reply to messages in an email application. 1. If you select REPLY, your reply will only be sent only to the sender of the message. 2. If you select REPLY TO ALL, the message will go to the original sender AND the addresses in the CC: field. This message was created by selecting Reply To All from my email menu. It is up to you to decide which of above methods you want to use when replying to an email. That behavior is standard in all email applications I have used. Have fun and enjoy the reflector ;o) 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member On Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:13:14 -0800, Don Pomplun <[hidden email]> wrote: >Apparently this group is set up so that Replies go only to the individual, not the Group.

Using Thunderbirds reply button only goes to the original poster unfortunately.

Sorry about the empty message, somehow managed to click send before my
brain had engaged, not that it's ever fully engaged. "Reply to List" in T-bird doesn't work with *every* list, although it does for me for the Elecraft list. For the CWOps list [possibly Yahoo], everything replies to the originator. I have to select the address and replace it with the list address. On the other hand, for the North American SOTA list [Yahoo group], every option replies to the list. :-) I suppose these are "features." 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2013 Cal QSO Party 5-6 Oct 2013 - www.cqp.org On 1/28/2013 2:37 PM, Paul wrote: > For any one using Thunderbird (V17.0.2), when right clicking the > message you also have the _Reply to List_ option which was selected for > this reply. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

There is also a "Reply List" button above the body of the message, along
with a "Reply" button. No need to even right-click. When you have both buttons displayed, that's a pretty good indication that the default reply is to the sender. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 1/28/2013 2:37 PM, Paul wrote: > >> For any one using Thunderbird (V17.0.2), when right clicking the >> message you also have the _Reply to List_ option which was selected for >> this reply. > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

It has been my experience during the four years or so that I've subscribed to
this reflector that by far the most helpful, interesting, and insightful correspondence has always occurred off-list in private e-mail exchanges. These exchanges in no way were deliberate attempts to be selfish with information or to be private to spite the group. They just happened, often long after the original post was beaten to death. I might go so far as to say that the majority of traffic occurs off-list. Probably most of you have the same experience. As long as there is a public resolution to the original posting I see no reason to require that all of this extraneous traffic be put back on the list; we would be overwhelmed with traffic and would thus face a new problem. Besides, what you or I choose to keep private should be our prerogative, no? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the original post. By the way, I have used another technique to cut down on list traffic. Eric has often suggested that we sit on our replies overnight, especially when they have been written in the heat of the moment. I now do this, and find that I don't bother to send over half of the replies I write when I re-visit them the next day. For various reasons ranging from seeing another almost identical post the next day to simply deciding that I didn't have that much to add to the conversation after all.
