Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[Daniel Selzer <danselzer AT yahoo.com>]

this is the age old mailing list dilemma! Either you
have people accidently sending messages meant for the
list to just one person, or you get vice versa, people
accidently sending personal messages to the list,
which can result in some very embarassing moments, let
me tell you!

as the moderator of a large and unruly list, I voted
to have the latter, because it was easier for me to
scold people who posted personal messages to the list
(or block them before they got there) then it was risk
losing good messages (under the assumption that
someone might do as Chuck was discussing).

Really the best thing to do I'd guess is simply, if
you send a message to the list, and you don't get it
returned to you within a few hours, chances are it
didn't go to the list! Send again please...
