Re: appropriate email etiquette, please

[Guest guest]

I agree ,

It really isn't that hard to work out

what would be of interest to the group

and what can be replied to individually.

Not every one has the time to go through 50+

e-mails a day.

We have had this discussion before,

but as you said nothing has changed for 6 months.

People are unsubscribing because of this.

Sally, I agree with you. Before I joined this group, I was warned

that over 200 mails could come in my mailbox. So I choose a daily

digest, but mostly I read on the web.

With a daily digest you get all the subjects, but just in one or two

mails a day. That must be ok. I think its really hard to forbid ppl

to answer or react.

Or maybe, but that wouldn't be my choise, form sub-groups?

I wasn't aware that anyone was forbidding people

to answer or react........just to cut down on answering

to the whole group when an individual reply is more appropriate.

I think that is what the moderator has requested also.

So ok I have tried to respond privetly but I guess I am too dumb to figure out how it is done. When I choose reply to sender I don't get the address of the individual I only get the address of the group.

I used to be able to respond privetly but since the change on how the mails are being done I guess I will have to be retrained. Reg.

Though I agree that sometimes it's a pain to read through all the emails; I for one, wouldl not be on LDN now, if it were not for having read all of your thoughts and good messages for LDN. I think it's unfair to deprive others, who are just learning about LDN of learning first hand, from dozens of replies,<from people who have had real success with the drug> If you don't read about what is "real" here from "real" people, how is one to know if the statements that you read on an LDN site are valid?

In addition, it also offers people the possibility of "understanding" their own experience, through the experiences of others.

For example, I have a friend who has just been diagnosed with CIPD......Is there anyone out there that knows what that is, but also , does anyone know if LDN would be appropriate for this autoimune disease?

LDN is theoretically applicable to CIPD too. Though the main stay is

intravenous immunoglobulin infusions.
