Please don't cc others when posting
Here's one of my very occasional administrivia messages (I try to keep these to a minimum) We are trying to debug posting problems for one of our users. When posting, please do not cc a bunch of other addresses in addition to the list address. If there are too many addresses, the mailman software will refuse to send it, but even a small number can be confusing. The best practice when posting is to have a single addressee, namely dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net. Also, be aware that if you cc yourself, the mailman software will suppress sending the list message to you, so you won't be sure your message was really posted. Hope all are well! We're fine here in Houston! Tim dialogue and OE list administrator
Hi Tim,Thanks for keeping us all connected. Question – I am confused by the various addresses used by our circle of colleagues. As a result, I cc all the addresses to make sure my message reaches the broadest number of colleagues. One such address is oe@lists.wedgeblade.net. If I don’t cc to that address, will that limit the number of people who get my message?With warm regards,Dharma On Tuesday, 1 February 2022, 06:50:37 am MYT, Timothy Wegner via Dialogue <dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: Here's one of my very occasional administrivia messages (I try to keep these to a minimum) We are trying to debug posting problems for one of our users.

Thanks, Tim. So if I want to send a reply / post to multiple addresses , I send it only to the dialogue and separately to others?? Jim Wiegel “A revolution is on the horizon: a wholesale transformation of the world economy and the way people live.” Fred Krupp

It would be ideal to post to the list (or both lists at once, that's fine) with no cc's, and send another copy to others. But it's not a hard and fast rule. I only brought it up because I am trying to debug some problems and eliminate some complications. That said, it is the best "netiquette" to do it that way, and we all strive for purity and perfection, don't we?? :-) Tim
