I don't think it really matters which settings the list goes for: those who
want to post to the list will do so no matter what and those who are in the
habit of sending messages to wrong addressees will also find a way of doing
so no matter what. It's called perversity. Private messages by textual
scholars (of whatever faction) are not likely to be truly scandalous anyway
so there's little to worry about. Deleting a misdirected message is the same
as deleting an uninteresting one, only you don't have to read it to the end
to realise. But of course you can if you're nosy (I always do, I can't help
it). What's reassuring to know is that this list is not defunct, as I
confess I've thought ever since I joined (whenever that was).
Best wishes to all,
Ivan Lupic

Subject: SV: Change of list settings
I prefer the new settings.
John Bryant's statement that "some will accidentally do the private message
thing, that occurrence is rare and endurable" is contradicted by fact. The
number of private messages for the list is close to or higher than the
number of genuine ones.
In my e-mail program (MS Outlook) I have a wonderful button called Reply To
All which will do the job of sending the message to -- in fact -- all.
