I agree with Bob. There may be something that I think is not relevant when I first read a posting but the responses will 'jog' something that is useful. Also, this change would create more work for me because I would have to make some response to a posting in order to read what everyone has to say about a problem. Today, if I want to keep informed, I just have to read my e-mail and the only time I have to respond is if I have some feedback. Please don't change the way this is handled because I think a valuable tool will become less valuable.

I would like to retain the ability to decide what to read and what to delete. As soon as things go off-line an important piece of information may be discussed that one of us lurkers may not have thought of. Besides, when you go off-line you're not always assured of getting a response, and who knows what tidbit of info you may not have thought of yourself. Use the subject line wisely to give reader's an idea of content if it changes. Remember, the delete key is real handy. Just make sure you go to your deleted file (if you have one) and empty the trash. Regarding addressing the response to a particular person, it is a good idea to use their name if you don't include any part of their original message. We all just have to remember to delete out the stuff we don't need. Well that's enough from me. This message will not self distruct! I leave it up to you. :-)) Best regards from a lurker who cares, Bob -----Original Message----- From: Kevin_Catlin@GM.cytec.com [mailto:Kevin_Catlin@GM.cytec.com] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2000 10:19 AM To: BPCS-L@midrange.com Subject: Re[2]: Clarification of BPCS-L guidelines <snip> If someone posts a problem/question (Peter in this case), then others post a response/solution (you, Rindi), that should be the extent of the "public" exchange on BPCS-L in my view. All persons with follow-up questions (including "lurkers") for those with solutions can ask them "privately" (off BPCS-L). When I posted a question about something (see post about Returnable Containers) and found out who had a suggestion (<RBakker@MhiMee.NL>) I wrote to him privately to see if he could send me documentation, etc. Why clutter up BPCS-L with that? <big snip> +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +--- +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +---
