There have been a number of messages sent to the list of late which would have been better directed to an individual rather than the whole list. If you are responding to a message posted on the list, think before you press the reply button; does the whole list need or want to know what I'm going to say? The sort of message best sent to an individual include, thank you messages, responses to offers, and requests to use information posted to the list. Think before you reply!!
