OT: how mailing works on this list (was Re: address test do not respond

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

If you have instructed groups to send you mail (either individual

posts or digests) then groups shall indeed do this.

This is true whether someone posts to the list using the POST feature

on the website or if they post by sending mail to

autism treatment .

The method used for posting makes no difference whatsoever.

There is NO manner in which someone can post ANYTHING and not have

it sent to everyone who has instructed to send mail to them.

All mailing from this list are, by definintion, mass mailings,

or so it seems to me.

If you don't want to receive mass mailings, you have various options

to not get mail from this list.

I personally do not get great glee from " test " emails, but am also

aware that there are occassionally reasons someone might send them.

I've done so myself. I'm not saying I think it is great.

There are lots of posts that leave me bored or that are not really of

interest to me. I delete them. It really is not of any concern to me.

In this case it was ONE test post and was clearly marked as that.

I'd also like to mention, FWIW, that this list has people with

extremely varying range of computer skills. There is liable to always

be a certain level of UNINTENDED " noise " just as a result of people

trying to figure things out..... as well as people like me who

are testing specific things (on purpose).

best,

Moria
