Hi everybody.
I know there's been a bit of confusion about whether members should reply just to the poster of an email here, or to the full list.
If the posting to which you're responding asked a general question of all members (like my recent one about future topics for meetings), then it's fine to respond to the full list ("reply to all"). It's probably best to in fact - then others can see how the discussion is developing and join in if they want to.
The rules of etiquette on JISCmail just say "Watch where that reply is going - should it go to the whole list, or just to the original sender?". Here on Intranets Forum we're a community, so it's usually OK to take the first option!
Of course if a poster has asked for replies to him/her alone, or if you want to develop an offline conversation with the poster, then it's fine to reply to them alone.
