Hi Folks: With all the new traffic on the DanvilleCrossing List I think it is time to remind everyone to try to send personal messages to the intended reader's personal email address instead of to all the list. We are all guilty of this at times, so I don't have anyone in mind ;-) The ones that probably are the most troublesome are the "Thank you" messages. If someone does something nice for you, or is helpful in some way, thank them directly. When the rest of the group reads your thank you, we don't have the foggiest idea what you are thanking the person for anyway. We will begin to see people drop off the list as it grows simply because they cannot handle the volume of mail. I know they can delete them, but they still have to handle the message some in order to determine whether to delete it or not. When you send a message, try to be thoughtful in you choice of whether to send it to the list or to the person's personal email. The rule seems to be, if others could benefit from you message, send it to the list, if it is purely personal or if it will not help others on the list, send it to the person directly. Dan -- Have I, therefore, become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
