Just a few reminders about etiquette on the listserv from Marcia Hohn, List
Co-moderator -- just back from vacation!

1.  When sending thank yous or special messages to particular individuals on
the list, please address the message directly to the individual's email
address, not the whole listserv.

2.  However, if you are discussing or giving information about something that
is likely to be of general interest, then do post or reply to the whole list.
Sometimes I think we lose valuable input to individual email conversations.
It's a judgement call - Perhaps one way it could be handled is to indicate to
the list what you may be discussing with 1 or more others and ask folks to
contact you directly if interested in that particular issue.

3.  Do be careful about inadverdently sending very private messages to the
entire list.  It's easy to hit that reply button and post messages to the
whole list that were confidential and private in nature.  Send private
messages directly to individual email addresses.
