You did not understand the problem!!!!!!!!
My Mailbox which I use for my business is bombed by over 50.000 spams
per day and I do already heavy filtering. I have to read my mail while
I am @work which mean, MOBILE using my cellphone connected to my Laptop.
Since I read the List ove another channel AND already filtering my own
threads (and convert it into a form which is much smaller then E-Mails)
to get rid of the rest from the list since I am subscribed to over 120
mailinglists and need less then 3% from it...
So, peoples now sending me PMs does not help, since it DoS my system and
make it harder for me to work since I have to walk through this messages
I do not need because I have it already seen.
Well, go away then.
If you are too cheap to receive emails in answer to your questions,
stop asking questions.
This is not a support channel you should consider using until you
learn enough courtesy and basic competence with email to interact
in public.
Cheers,
Steve
I don't think that what Michelle is asking is unreasonable. While certainly not a universal "standard" a significant subset of
mailing lists definitely support the view that personal replies are unneccessary (and many lists forbid/discourage them).
I also think (based on what I've read from Michelle here and on other lists) that it'd be a drag to lose the participation of
someone who has often contributed interesting viewpoints/information to technical discussions.
In my view, anything that causes people to check more closely about exactly where a reply is being sent is a good thing.
be well,
