I run lists on the same software. (Listserve) No matter how you set up the list's defaults, some people send messages in such a way that replies go to somewhere unintended. If you do not have "reply to all" messages intended for the often end up going only to the sender. Working on the basis that most replies are intended for the list, the current default seems reasonable. ____________________________ Michael Kenward ABSW e-minder http://www.absw.org.uk http://absw.blogspot.com/ -----Original Message----- From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sunny Bains Sent: 05 November 2007 11:26 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] Freelance editing work with Form and Content Media As someone who has made this mistake twice now, I'd like to strongly agree with the suggestion that the list preferences be changed to a reply being to the person sending and not to everyone. I'm on many different lists, and none of them have "reply all" as the default. Not only is it embarrassing if you don't realize, but it's a waste of everyone's time reading messages that weren't meant for them. (For which I now apologize, twice!). Is there a moderator/listowner who can address this issue? I wouldn't spam everyone, but there seems to be no guidance on how to, discreetly, get in touch with someone in charge.
