permaculture

[John Fritz <johnfritz77@yahoo.com>]

O.K.  I get that.  This is what I was saying to another list member and I did 
not know why it was being sent to me...unless I, absent-mindedly, did this 
also.  I always try to clip my replies and keep the subject line relevant and 
specific to the message...TRY, being the operative word here.  I will try 
harder, but if I fail I quess I am the one that loses. 
   
  Just a suggestion.  I don't know if the feature I am about to describe is 
available to you on the list serve you are using, but it has recently been 
added to a yahoogroup I belong to
  (RunningOnEmpty2) and makes replying much easier.  At the end of each 
message there are three links for three seperate options in replying.  One is 
a direct reply to the author of the post that does not load the original 
message in the text box.  The other two are links for replying as a post to 
the group or to the forum (IIRC)  I am not sure of the distinction between 
these second and third options.  Replying as a post to the group does load 
the original post to the text box of the reply.  One reason I like this 
feature is that it ensures that the subject line will not be a generic 
"digest" number but will be an addendum to the original posters subject.  
   
  Another feature that ROE2 recently adapted through yahoo is that each 
message in the index of an individual digest is a link to the actual message, 
in the digest.  So, for instance, if I want to reply to message 7 of 15 I do 
not have to scroll down and try to decipher where one message (and its' 
included precedents) ends and another begins. I just click on message 7 in 
the index and I am instanly there.  Again, I don't know if these options are 
available on the list serve that is presenting this group, but I thought it 
was worth mentioning.

  What the owner of this group and most its members are saying is, "Quit 
making the subject line of your 
  email to Permaculture say and reference to that particular digest which in 
this case is 
  permaculture Digest, Vol 49, Issue 33". In other words, make your subject 
line specific.  Refer to 
  the specific topic.  Create a thread on that particular topic and your fans 
on this group can follow that issue 
  easier than putting the subject as permaculture Digest, Vol 49, Issue 33. 
You know what that 
  does to some of us? 
  We have to backtrack and find the digest where that topic started. We get 
mad and quit reading your input. 
  We move on to other submitters to the group list and read their stuff 
ignoring your stuff. 
  The owner of this Permacluture listserv discussion asks each and every one 
of us as stated in 
  the beginning of each digest sent to you and it says below. 
  When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than 
  "Re: Contents of permaculture digest..."
