I agree with Joe. The benefit we all get from following discussions
     that do not involve us directly is priceless. And in very rare
     occasions, I do not mind erasing what is not of my interest.

     Best regards to all,

To all
I disagree somewhat with this stance, if I take its meaning clearly. There
are, of course, times when it is appropriate to respond directly to those
posting the message. However, when it involves a request for general
information, as is frequently the case, then I for one, enjoy following the
course of the discussion that ensues and find it educational. Also, posting
responses to queries to the entire list prevents redundant responses; if
someone has already suggested a particular reference or source of a
product, then you don't have twenty others doing it also.
