Thank you's and other such messages

[Guest guest]

While I'm at it, now that we have almost 500 members, please stop and think

before you send a message to the list that will not be of interest to many

or most members. For example, if you want to thank someone because you

asked for info and received it on the list. Thank them off list rather that

send the thank you to the entire list. If the information is of a huge

benefit (Suzi's checklist for example - a huge effort benefitting so many),

then perhaps a special thank you round of cyber applause is called for. But

for info to just to one individual asking, an off list thanks suffices.

And I thank you all in advance for complying :-)))
