The practice of sending list queries to the sender *only* is one that occurs on all lists that I am on, including those covering Dyfed. For the sake of saying so, if we do this then several things may happen; <other listers are deprived of the opportunity to read/digest it, and ask supplementaries perhaps, so a thread doesn't develop. <if a response off list is incomplete or even incorrect then someone gets mislead. We are all capable of gettting it wrong on occasion, I personally take comfort that someone will pick up on any of my blunders ! <the list appears to be unresponsive, and suffers for it when new listers leave having got the wrong impression of how helpful a list really is. Or are inhibited from asking at all if other people apparently don't get a reply. I could go on and on but I think the point is made :-) Gareth List Administrator for Dyfed, CGN & PEM.
