Right. for example, , hitting " Reply All " to your message brought into

the " To " line the name of this group, your address, and also jgarvin's

address (because your " Reply All " had sent to him privately as well).

Now, of course, all one has to do in that case is look at the line and

delete the private address. Or one could just enter

low dose naltrexone in the line to begin with. The name of

the group is in my address book. All I enter is the first three letters, and

the rest of the name pops in there automatically.

I don't think we need to change the " Reply To " function. All that is

required is a little care. Everyone should ALWAYS look at the line in

any message they send to anyone. That's standard Internet practice, sure to

save one grief someday. And it takes only an extra few seconds, folks.

Likewise, I don't think we need to make some kind of rule about not sending

private e-mail messages to people. It's not enforceable, and any " rule " we

would come up with now is something that a new majority down the road might

not like. Asking permission before sending messages privately? Well, how to

effect that, but publically? Then you have the group being cluttered up with

messages from so-and-so asking thus-and-so, " Can I e-mail you privately? "

Eeek!

Common sense, people, and standard Internet practice. Do NOT send people

private e-mails that threaten and/or harass them and insult them. For one

thing, that person may tell your ISP and get your account yanked or worse.

Capisc'?

And DO look at your lines before sending, and while we are at it, PLEASE

trim your messages! I, for one, am awfully tired of getting messages that

say " Me too! " or " Thanks! " with am entire message, or worse, several

messages, quoted underneath. I see an awful lot of that in this group.

Many thanks for considering the above,

Galoux

Thanks Bou you said it all - please take note folks - I subscribe to several

groups and the number of emails coming through is getting too much. Many

I'm sure are not intended for the whole group so can we please be more

careful and check the 'To:' line before we hit the send button.

Many thanks

Sue

Listen all I know is I don’t want nasty emails

anymore. It seems people don’t do them in group but they don’t mind

sending you privately that they for instance feel sorry for Canada because

you’re a Canadian and BS like that… I’m here to learn about

LDN and some people share more and I don’t mind I like it, but no more

nastiness please!

As for truncating messages I have MS memory issues when I

get an email privately that has no thread of conversation behind it I often don’t

know where or what is going on… LOL I can understand truncating to the

last two messages but just sending one with nothing behind… you’ve

lost me.

I'm sorry you got a message like that . Sounds pretty childish if you ask me. Just about as low as calling names.
