[Cheese] Complaint

[Erica Schechter]

PPRCompany, I'm not sure, but I don't *think* that you understand how
a mailing list works.

cheese at hbd.org is an alias for everyone subscribed. Any letters sent
to this address are broadcasted to everyone.

Generally, if someone posts a question, the proper netiquette is to
reply to this address -- cheese at hbd.org. That way:

-If anyone else has a similar issue in the future, they have
information from past postings
-The letters are archived
-The original poster does not risk being flooded with the same replies
from multiple people
-If someone gives misinformation, someone else can reply and correct them
-Interesting discussions can occur
-Etc...

The mail that was "intended for other members", while it may be a
reply to someone's question, is indeed intended for the whole group.

HTH.

"I have often felt that programming is an art form,
whose real value can only be appreciated
by another versed in the same arcane art;
there are lovely gems and brilliant coups
hidden from human view and admiration, sometimes forever,
by the very nature of the process.
You can learn a lot about an individual
just by reading through his code,
even in hexadecimal."
