[Genealib] [MODERATOR] Replies to all (not!)

[Smith, Andrew M.]

Once again, I find that I need to remind subscribers *not* to send replies intended only for a single individual instead to the entire list of over 1000 subscribers.

The list is set up for discussion, so replies automatically are set to go to the entire list.  If needed, copy and paste the e-mail address of the *individual* who needs to receive your personal message.  The rest of us, who do not need to see that you want X from person Y, will be spared the unnecessary e-mail.

This is not the first time that I've had to send this kind of reminder to the list.  Should I have to send a similar reminder in future situations, it is likely to be somewhat crankier.

Signed,
The Cranky GENEALIB List Administrator
