I would be particularly grateful if people would not advertise too many very local events to the whole list, don't mind one offs, but regular postings are wearing Lalage Lalage Grundy Surrey Heritage Team Manager for Learning, Museums and Partnership 130 Goldsworth Road, Woking, GU21 6ND Tel 01483 518782 Steve Thompson <[log in to unmask]> Sent by: "List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK." <[log in to unmask]> 04/09/09 08:34 Please respond to Steve Thompson <[log in to unmask]> To [log in to unmask] cc Subject Re: full inboxes This issue was indeed discussed at length some months ago but I disagree that "most people saw the sense in all replies going to the group", there appeared to be no clear consensus, as indeed there couldn't be without conducting a formal survey in which most people take part. What was clear was that there were a significant number of people who did not like to get all these generally irrelevant, to them, emails appearing in their inboxes. I agree wholeheartedly with Martin Bazley, and do not recommend setting your message rules to divert GEM list emails to a separate folder. This does nothing to remove the issue of dealing with the emails, merely stores them somewhere else until you do deal with them. You then either spend the same amount of time going through them all or you delete them, in which case you might just as well block all GEM list emails (or just not join the list). The key point is that it is not necessary to reply to all senders. The original request goes to all members: Good. That is the point of the list. If you have something useful to say, say it to the poster. If you are interested in the replies, say so to the poster, who can then let you have the responses. If the issue seems to be of general interest, the poster can compile the responses and circulate them. None of this requires replies to all senders. Enough already. (And please read Martin's response, it makes much sense.)
