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

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.)
