Jim L:
I find using the "reply to all" just fine. But when others do not use
it, but instead hit just "reply". I am obliged to reply off thread for
fear that it is meant to be off thread and not exposed to the entire
group. This can lead to a non-shareing exchange that others maybe
interested in. Or possibly personal conflicts with posters exchanging
between themselves without the moderation of the group. Hence a drop off
of posts and my personal feelings of separation from information that I
could use.
I have seen this type of system exchange used on other threads and the
confusion it brought to them. Maybe a link at the bottom of every post
could clear up my confusion. Sorry for the critic but it is a situation
that I find myself in more and more.
